The series of positive multiples of 3 is divided into sets: {3},{6,9,12},{15,18,21,24,27},…….. Then the sum of the elements in the 11th set is equal to
Let ai denotes the ith set.∴ Number of elements in a1=1 Number of elements in a2=3 Number of elements in a3=5 ∴ Number of elements in a11=1+(11−1)⋅ 2=21 Total number of elements in set 1+ set 2+⋯+ set 10=1+3+5+⋯+1+(9 × 2)=100 ∴ First term of a11=101 × 3=303 and last term of a11=121 × 3=363 ∴ Sum of elements of a11=221(303+363)=6993
