MCQ
The sum of first $40$ positive integers divisible by $6$ is :
  • A
    $2460$
  • B
    $3640$
  • $4920$
  • D
    $4860$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4920$
The frist $40$ positive numbers divisible by $6$ will be
$\{6, 12, 18, 24, ......\}$
Here,
$a = 6$
$d = 6$
$n = 40$
$\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{n}}{2}\big[2\text{a}+(\text{n}-1)\text{d}\big]$
$\Rightarrow\text{S}_{40}=\frac{40}{2}\big[2(6)+39(6)\big]$
$\Rightarrow\text{S}_{40}=20[12+234]$
$\Rightarrow\text{S}_{40}=20[246]$
$\Rightarrow\text{S}_{40}=4920$
