(51 + 52 + 53 + ... + 100) = ?
2525
2975
3225
3775
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Sn = (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 50 + 51 + 52 + ... + 100) - (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 50)

    = 100 x (1 + 100) - 50 x (1 + 50)
2 2

    = (50 x 101) - (25 x 51)

    = (5050 - 1275)

    = 3775.

50 * 50 + (1+2+3...50)
= 2500 + 50/2(1+50).
= 2500 + 25 * 51.
= 2500 + 1275.
= 3775.

You guys also can do that.........
51+52+53+.......+100
50/2(51+100)
=25*151
=3775 rule is n/2(first term+last term)=sum

Here, n is number of turns
this ex. is (51 to 100 then n is 50 number).

n/2[firstnum + lastnum].
n = 50{totalnum}.

50/2[50+100].
= 25[151].
= 3775.

Look my friends
51+100=151
52+99=151
53+97=151

If we are following in that way then we have 25 times 151

So the ans is 25*151=3775.
