    first two digit number ending with 4 = 14

    last two digit number ending with 4 = 94

    so the series is

    14,24,34.........94

    a1 = 14, d = 10, n = 9

    S(9) = n/2[a1+an] = 9/2[14+94] = 486

    2)

    first three digit number divisible by 6 = 102

    the series is

    102, 108, 114, ...............996

    a1 = 102, d = 6

    an = a1+(n-1)d

    996 = 102 + (n-1)6

    6(n-1) = 894

    n-1 = 894/6 = 149

    n = 150

    s(150) = n/2[a1+an] = 150/2[102+996] = 82350

    3)

    The first two digit number = 10

    The last two digit number = 99

    total terms = 90

    The total sum of all the two digits = 90/2[10+99] = 4905 ---eqn(1)

    The first two digit number divisible by 5 = 10

    the series is 10, 15,20,......... 95

    a1 = 10, d= 5, n = 18

    The sum of numbers divisible by 5 is 18/2[10+95] = 945----eqn(2)

    so the sum of two digit numbers that are not divisible by 5 is

    eqn(1) - eqn(2) = 4905 - 945 = 3960

    4)

    1, 1.1 ......

    a1 = 1, d = 0.1 , n = 20

    s20 = n/2[2a1+(n-1)d]

    =20/2[2+19(0.1)] = 10(3.9) = 39
