The numbers lying between 100 and 1000 that are multiples of 5 are

105, 110, 115, 120,…, 995

a2 – a1 = 110 – 105 = 5

a3 – a2 = 115 – 110 = 5

∵ a3 – a2 = a2 – a1 = 5

Therefore, the series is in AP

Here, a = 105, d = 5 and an = 995

We know that,

an = a + (n – 1)d

⇒ 995 = 105 + (n – 1)5

⇒ 995 – 105 = (n – 1)5

⇒ 890 = (n – 1)5

⇒ 178 = (n – 1)

⇒ n = 179

Now, we have to find the sum of this AP

⇒ S179 = 179[105 + 89 × 5]

⇒ S179 = 179 [550]

⇒ S179 = 98450

Hence, the sum of all numbers lying between 100 and 1000 that are multiples of 5 is 98450.
