Question

What is the sum of the first 12 multiples of 4?

A.

316

B.

312

C.

324

D.

308

Correct option is B

Given:

We are to find the sum of the first 12 multiples of 4.​

Formula Used:
Sum of first n terms of A.P.:

Sn=n2[2a+(n1)d]S_n = \dfrac{n}{2} \left[2a + (n - 1)d\right]

Solution:

We are to find the sum of the first 12 multiples of 4.
These multiples are: 4, 8, 12, ,48\dots, 48​​

This is an arithmetic progression (A.P.) where:

First term a = 4

Common difference d = 4

Number of terms n = 12

S12=122[2×4+(121)4]=6[8+44]=6×52=312S_{12} = \dfrac{12}{2} \left[2 \times 4 + (12 - 1) 4\right] = 6 \left[8 + 44\right] = 6 \times 52 = 312
