    Question

    On simplification 1 – 2 + 3 – 4 + 5 – 6 - - - - + 101, we get

    A.

    101

    B.

    81

    C.

    60

    D.

    51

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Simplify the series:

    1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + ..... + 101

    Solution:

    Pair the terms up to 100:

    (1 - 2) + (3 - 4) + ......... + (99 - 100)

    Number of such pairs = 50

    Sum of these pairs = 50 × (-1) = -50

    Remaining last term = +101

    Total sum =  -50 + 101 = 51

    Thus, Value of the given expression = 51
