Question

Find the sum of the even numbers from 1 to 300

a) 14,280
b) 22,650
c) 16,100
d) 15,460

Answer 1

The answer is 22,650

So, option b for you

Explanation:

To find the sum of even numbers from 2 to 300, the formula we use is,

N ( N + 1 )

Where N is given by,

N = [( first number + last number)/2] - 1

So here, N = [ (2 + 300 ) / 2 ] - 1 = 150

And hence Sum = 150 * 151 = 22650
