To find the sum of S1, we use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:
S1 = n/2 (first term + last term)S1 = 99/2 (1 + 99)S1 = 4950
To find the sum of S2, we first find the number of terms in the series:
99 = 3 + (n-1) * 399 = 3nn = 33
Next, we use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series again:
S2 = n/2 (first term + last term)S2 = 33/2 (3 + 99)S2 = 33/2 * 102S2 = 1683
Therefore, s = S1 - S2 = 4950 - 1683 = 3267.
To find the sum of S1, we use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:
S1 = n/2 (first term + last term)
S1 = 99/2 (1 + 99)
S1 = 4950
To find the sum of S2, we first find the number of terms in the series:
99 = 3 + (n-1) * 3
99 = 3n
n = 33
Next, we use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series again:
S2 = n/2 (first term + last term)
S2 = 33/2 (3 + 99)
S2 = 33/2 * 102
S2 = 1683
Therefore, s = S1 - S2 = 4950 - 1683 = 3267.
