Example 23: find the sum of first<br />

(i) <strong>10</strong>0 natural numbers.<br />

(ii) <strong>10</strong>00 natural numbers.<br />

Solution: (i) Here a=1, d=1, n = <strong>10</strong>0<br />

Thus, S<strong>10</strong>0 = [2x1 + (<strong>10</strong>0-1) 1] = 50x <strong>10</strong>1 = 5050<br />

Alternatively, we may use the formula<br />

Sn = (a + )<br />

S<strong>10</strong>0 = (1+<strong>10</strong>0) = 5050<br />

(ii) Using the formula for Sn,<br />

S<strong>10</strong>00 = [2 x 1 + (<strong>10</strong>00 1 1]<br />

= 500 (<strong>10</strong>01)<br />

= 500500<br />

Also by using the formula :<br />

Sn = (a+ )<br />

S<strong>10</strong>00 = (1 + <strong>10</strong>00)<br />

= 500 (<strong>10</strong>01)<br />

= 500500<br />

Example 24: Find the sum of first 50 terms of the <strong>AP</strong>; 1, 3, 5, 7,………..<br />

Solution: Here a=1, d=2, n=50<br />

using the formula<br />
