Solution

The correct option is B

286


34+32+30+....+10
This sequence is an AP.
Here, a=34,d=3234=2.
Let the number of terms of the AP be n.
We know that
an=a+(n1)d.

10=34+(n1)(2)

(n1)(2)=24

n1=242=12

n=13

Also, we know that the sum to n terms of an AP with first term a and last term l is given by

Sn=n2(a+l).

S13=132(34+10)

S13=286

Hence, the required sum is 286.
