Answer
Correct option: D.
4920
(d) : Numbers divisible by 6 are $6,12,18, \ldots$ The series form an A.P. with first term $(a)=6$ and common difference $(d)=6$ and $n=40$ Now, sum of $n$ terms $S_n=\frac{n}{2}\{2 a+(n-1) d\}$ $ \begin{aligned} \therefore \quad S_{40} & =\frac{40}{2}\{2 \times 6+(40-1) 6\}=20\{12+234\} \\ & =20 \times 246=4920 \end{aligned} $
