Solution

The correct option is B 900
a1+a5+a10+a15+a20+a24=225 (given)
a+(a+4d)+(a+9d)+(a+14d)+(a+19d)+(a+23d)=225
6a+69d=225...(i)
a1,a2,a3... in A.P
a1a2=a+d,a3=a+2d etc
a1+a2+a3+....+a24=?
n=24,S24=n2[2a+(n1)d]=242[2a+23d]
=12[75] [from eq. (i)]
= 900 Ans.
from eq. (i)
3[2a+23d]=225
2a+23d=75...(ii)
