C Correct answer
Explanation

Sum of odd $n$ consecutive numbers $n^2$

$\therefore (1+3+5\dots\dots (2n-1))=n^2$
where $n$ represents the number of terms.
$\therefore 50^2=1+3+5\dots 99=50\text{ }terms$
$\therefore 13^2=1+3+5\dots 25=13\text{ }terms$
$\therefore 50^2-13^2$$=(1+3+5\dots 99)-(1+3+5\dots 25)\=(27+29\dots 99)\ =37\text{ }terms.$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Let ${S} _{n}=(2+4+6+.....+30)$. This is an A.P in which $a=2,d=2$ and $l=30$
Let the number of terms be $n$. Then,
$a+(n-1)d=30$
$\Rightarrow$ $2+(n-1)\times 2=30$
$\Rightarrow$ $n=15$
$\therefore$ ${S} _{n}=\cfrac{n}{2}(a+l)=\cfrac{15}{2}\times (2+30)=(15\times 16)=240$.
