  1. adding first $n$ natural numbers

  2. multiplying first $10$ odd numbers

  3. adding first $20$ even numbers

  4. adding last $20$ natural numbers

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A series is the sum of some set of terms of a sequence.
So, multiplying first $10$ odd numbers is not a series.

As it will be equal to $1\times 3\times 5\times 7\times 9....$

  4. series

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Adding and constant difference between the terms is called series.
Example: $1 + 3 + 5 + 7 +... $
Here the common difference is $2$, adding the terms is called series.

  1. $0+2+4+8+16$

  2. $0+2+4+6+8$

  3. $2+4+6+8+10$

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given:  $\displaystyle\sum _{n=0}^{4} 2n$

At n=0: $2n=2 \times 0=0$
At n=1: $2n=2 \times 1=2$
At n=2: $2n=2 \times 2=4$
At n=3: $2n=2 \times 3=6$
At n=4: $2n=2 \times 4=8$
$\therefore 0+2+4+6+8$
