The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will break it down into two parts: 1. Finding the sum of all numbers from 50 to 250 that are divisible by 6. 2. Finding the 13th term (t13) of the arithmetic progression formed by these numbers. ### Step 1: Identify the first and last terms divisible by 6 - **First term (a)**: The smallest number greater than or equal to 50 that is divisible by 6. - We can find this by calculating \( 50 \div 6 = 8.33 \). The next whole number is 9. - Therefore, the first term is \( 6 \times 9 = 54 \). - **Last term (l)**: The largest number less than or equal to 250 that is divisible by 6. - We can find this by calculating \( 250 \div 6 = 41.67 \). The largest whole number is 41. - Therefore, the last term is \( 6 \times 41 = 246 \). ### Step 2: Determine the number of terms (n) - The numbers divisible by 6 from 54 to 246 form an arithmetic progression where: - First term \( a = 54 \) - Last term \( l = 246 \) - Common difference \( d = 6 \) To find the number of terms \( n \): - The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression is given by: \[ l = a + (n-1) \cdot d \] Substituting the values we have: \[ 246 = 54 + (n-1) \cdot 6 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 246 - 54 = (n-1) \cdot 6 \] \[ 192 = (n-1) \cdot 6 \] \[ n-1 = \frac{192}{6} = 32 \] \[ n = 32 + 1 = 33 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the sum of the series (S_n) The sum \( S_n \) of the first \( n \) terms of an arithmetic progression can be calculated using the formula: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \cdot (a + l) \] Substituting the values we have: \[ S_{33} = \frac{33}{2} \cdot (54 + 246) \] Calculating inside the parentheses: \[ 54 + 246 = 300 \] Now substituting back: \[ S_{33} = \frac{33}{2} \cdot 300 = 33 \cdot 150 = 4950 \] ### Step 4: Find the 13th term (t13) The nth term of an arithmetic progression can be calculated using the formula: \[ t_n = a + (n-1) \cdot d \] For \( n = 13 \): \[ t_{13} = 54 + (13-1) \cdot 6 \] Calculating: \[ t_{13} = 54 + 12 \cdot 6 = 54 + 72 = 126 \] ### Final Answers - The sum of all numbers from 50 to 250 that are divisible by 6 is **4950**. - The 13th term \( t_{13} \) is **126**.
