Since all the terms are odd, the last four terms would be 115+117+119+121
115 + 117 = 232
232 + 119 = 351
351 + 121 = 472

Answer: 472
I hope this helped :)

Answer:

Sum of last four term is 472.

Explanation:

Given : 97+99+101+....+121.

To find : what is the sum of the last four terms .

Solution : We have given that 97+99+101+....+121.

Common difference = second term - first term

Common difference = 99 - 97 = 2

Then , fourth term 101 + 2 = 103

Fifth term 103 + 2 = 105

Sixth term 105 + 2 = 107

107 + 2 = 109

109 + 2 = 111

111+2 = 113

113 + 2 = 115

115 + 2 = 117

117 + 2 = 119

119 +2 = 121

Then last four terms are 115 , 117, 119, 121.

Then, S = 115 + 117 + 119 +121

S = 472

Therefore, Sum of last four term is 472.
