The two digit odd positive integers are

11, 13, 15,…, 99

a2 – a1 = 13 – 11 = 2

a3 – a2 = 15 – 13 = 2

∵ a3 – a2 = a2 – a1 = 2

Therefore, the series is in AP

Here, a = 11, d = 2 and an = 99

We know that,

an = a + (n – 1)d

⇒ 99 = 11 + (n – 1)2

⇒ 99 – 11 = (n – 1)2

⇒ 88 = (n – 1)2

⇒ 44 = (n – 1)

⇒ n = 45

Now, we have to find the sum of this AP

⇒ S45 = 45[11 + 44]

⇒ S45 = 45[55]

⇒ S45 = 2475

Hence, the sum of all two digit odd numbers are 2475.
