Find the
(i) Sum of those integers from 1 to 500 which are multiples of 2 or 5.
[Hint (i): These numbers will be: multiples of 2 + multiples of 5 – multiples of 2 as well as of 5]

Solution:

We all know that,

Multiple of 2 + Multiple of 5 – LCM Multiple (2, 5) = Multiples of 2 or 5

Multiple of 2 + Multiple of 5 – Multiple of LCM (10) = Multiples of 2 or 5

List of multiple of 2 from 1 to 500 + List of multiple of 5 from 1 to 500 – List of multiple of 10 from 1 to 500 = Multiples of 2 or 5 from 1 to 500

=\text{ }\left( 2,\text{ }4,\text{ }6\ldots \text{ }500 \right)\text{ }+\text{ }\left( 5,\text{ }10,\text{ }15\ldots \text{ }500 \right)\text{ }\text{ }\left( 10,\text{ }20,\text{ }30\ldots \text{ }500 \right)

Required sum =\text{ }sum\left( 2,\text{ }4,\text{ }6,\ldots ,\text{ }500 \right)\text{ }+\text{ }sum\left( 5,\text{ }10,\text{ }15,\ldots ,\text{ }500 \right)\text{ }\text{ }sum\left( 10,\text{ }20,\text{ }30,.,\text{ }500 \right)

Now consider the first series,

2, 4, 6, …., 500

The first term, a = 2

The common difference, d = 2

Let no of terms be n

{{a}_{n}}~=\text{ }a+\left( n-1 \right)d

500\text{ }=2+{{\left( n-1 \right)}^{2}}

498={{\left( n-1 \right)}^{2}}

n-1\text{ }=\text{ }249

n\text{ }=\text{ }250

Sum of an AP, {{S}_{n~}}=\text{ }\left( n/2 \right)\text{ }[\text{ }a\text{ }+\text{ }{{a}_{n}}]

Let S1 be ,the sum of this AP

{{S}_{1~}}=\text{ }{{S}_{250}}~=\text{ }\left( 250/2 \right)\text{ }\times \left[ 2+500 \right]

{{S}_{1}}~=\text{ }125\left( 502 \right)

{{S}_{1}}~=\text{ }62750… (1)

Now consider the second series,

5, 10, 15, …., 500

The first term, a = 5

The common difference, d = 5

Let no of terms be n

Using the nth term formula

{{a}_{n}}~=\text{ }a\text{ }+\text{ }\left( n\text{ }\text{ }1 \right)d

500\text{ }=\text{ }5\text{ }+\text{ }\left( n\text{ }\text{ }1 \right)

495\text{ }=\text{ }\left( n\text{ }\text{ }1 \right)5

n\text{ }\text{ }1\text{ }=\text{ }99

n\text{ }=\text{ }100

Sum of an AP, {{S}_{n~}}=\text{ }\left( n/2 \right)\text{ }[\text{ }a\text{ }+\text{ }{{a}_{n}}]

Let S2, be the sum of this AP

{{S}_{2~}}=\text{ }{{S}_{100}}~=\text{ }\left( 100/2 \right)\text{ }\times \left[ 5+500 \right]

{{S}_{2}}~=\text{ }50\left( 505 \right)

{{S}_{2}}~=\text{ }25250… (2)

Now consider the third series,

10, 20, 30, …., 500

The first term, a = 10

The common difference, d = 10

Let no of terms be n

{{a}_{n}}~=\text{ }a\text{ }+\text{ }\left( n\text{ }\text{ }1 \right)d

500\text{ }=\text{ }10\text{ }+\text{ }\left( n\text{ }\text{ }1 \right)10

490\text{ }=\text{ }\left( n\text{ }\text{ }1 \right)10

n\text{ }\text{ }1\text{ }=\text{ }49

n\text{ }=\text{ }50

Sum of an AP, {{S}_{n~}}=\text{ }\left( n/2 \right)\text{ }[\text{ }a\text{ }+\text{ }{{a}_{n}}]

Let S3, be the sum of this AP

{{S}_{3~}}=\text{ }{{S}_{50}}~=\text{ }\left( 50/2 \right)\text{ }\times \text{ }\left[ 2+510 \right]

{{S}_{3}}~=\text{ }25\left( 510 \right)

{{S}_{3}}~=\text{ }12750… (3)

As a result, the required Sum, S\text{ }=\text{ }{{S}_{1}}~+\text{ }{{S}_{2}}~\text{ }{{S}_{3}}

S =\text{ }62750\text{ }+\text{ }25250\text{ }\text{ }12750

=\text{ }75250
