  • Question
  • The sum of even numbers between 1 and 31 is:


  • Options
  • A. 6
  • B. 28
  • C. 240
  • D. 512

  • Correct Answer
  • 240 

    Explanation
    Let S n = (2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 30). This is an A.P. in which a = 2, d = 2 and l = 30

    Let the number of terms be n. Then,

    a + (n - 1)d = 30

      ⟹   2 + (n - 1) x 2 = 30

      ⟹  n = 15.

    ∴Sn = n (a + l) = 15 x (2 + 30) = (15 x 16) = 240.
