MCQ - 377-13144

Question:

Consider the sequence 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3,…….. What is the sum of the first 100 terms?

  1. 100
  2. 180
  3. 198
  4. 180
  5. 200

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The trio of “1, 2, 3”s will end at the 99th place, and the 100th place must be 1.

So, we have 33 groups of “1, 2, 3”, plus a “1” leftover. There are 33 groups because there are 99 digits in the series divided up into groups of 3 each. 99 ÷ 3 = 33, so there are 33 groups.

33 × (1 + 2 + 3) + 1. = 198 + 1 = 199
