A.P. = 34,36,38,…..234

an = a + (n-1)d      ….1

Sn = n/2(a + l)       …2

We have,an or l = 234

a = 34

d = 2

So, putting in formula 1

234 = 34 + (n-1) 2

234 -34 = (n-1)2

200/2 = n-1

n = 100 + 1

n = 101

Now, putting values in formula 2

Sn = 101/ 2 (34 + 234)

= 101/ 2 (268)

= 13,534

 

Hence, sum of numbers is 13,534
