JEE Main 2022 · 26 Jul · Shift 2, Mathematics question 29

Different A.P.'s are constructed with the first term 100, the last term 199, and integral common differences. The sum of the common differences of all such A.P.'s having at least 3 terms and at most 33 terms is ______.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 53

Terms. 199=100+(n−1)d199=100+(n-1)d gives (n−1)d=99(n-1)d=99, with 2≤n−1≤322\le n-1\le32.

Divisors of 99 in that range: 3, 9, 11, giving d=33,11,9d=33,11,9.
