Numbers divisible by 5 from 100 to 1000 are 105,110,.............995

This sequence is an A.P.

Here , first term =a =105

common difference = 5.

We know , a_n = a+(n-1)d

              995 = 105+(n-1)5

      \Rightarrow \, \, 890 = (n-1)5

    \Rightarrow \, \, 178 = (n-1)

 \Rightarrow \, \, n=178+1=179

 

S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

       = \frac{179}{2}[2(105)+(179-1)5]

     = \frac{179}{2}[2(105)+178(5)]

      = 179\times 550

     = 98450

The  sum of numbers divisible by 5 from 100 to 1000 is 98450.
