The sum of the given series is 300.

Explanation:

Given,

The arithmetic series: 3+7+11+15+.....+47

To find the sum of the series.

Formula

Sum of the series =
(n)/(2)(a+l) where, n is the number of term, a is the first term and l is the last term.

nth term of a series =
a_(n) = a+(n-1)d where d is the common difference

Now,

Here, a=3

d = 7-3 = 11-7=15-11=4

Hence,

47 = 3+(n-1)4

or, 4(n-1) = 47-3

or, 4(n-1) = 44

or, n-1 = 11

or, n = 12

Now,

Sum =
(12)/(2) (3+47) = 300
