Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 46.$(3050)$

Solution:

Formula:

An Arithmetic Progression (A.P.):

  1. Integers divisible by $2$ are $(2,4,6,8,10, \ldots, 100)$.

Integers divisible by $5$ are $(5,10,15, \ldots, 100)$.

Thus, sum of integers divisible by $2$

$ =\frac{50}{2}(2+100)=50 \times 51=2550 $

Sum of integers divisible by $5$

$ =\frac{20}{2}(5+100)=10 \times 105=1050 $

Sum of integers divisible by $10$

$ =\frac{10}{2}(10+100)=5 \times 110=550 $

$\therefore$ Sum of integers from $1$ to $100$ divisible by $2$ or $5$

$ \begin{aligned} & =2550+1050-550 \\ & =2550+500=3050 \end{aligned} $
