Solution

The series will be of the form: 101, 104, 107.....995, 998.

It will have a total of 300 terms: 999-100=899 + (1). = 900 (Take 1/3 of this, since only 1 term is there in every 3.) {There is a proper AP formula for this, but can't recall, so I'm doing it in a crude way.}

Now, sum = (1st number + nth number)/2 * n

= (101 + 998) / 2 * 300
= 1099 * 300 / 2
= 164, 840
So Ans = B
