Answer:
5220
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets make an ap as follows: 102, 108, 114… 246.
This will have all numbers divisible by 6 between 100 and 250.
Now,
a = 102
d = 6
tn = 246.
[tex]tn = a + (n – 1)d \\ 246 = 102 + (n – 1) \times 6 \\ 6n – 6 = 144 \\ 6n = 150 \\ n = 30[/tex]
Thus there are 40 terms. Now let’s find sum.
[tex]sn = \frac{n}{2} (a + l) \\ = \frac{30}{2} \times (102 + 246) \\ = 15 \times 348 \\ = 5220[/tex]
Thus, the required sum is 5220
