    A 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 640 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 785 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of sixty numbers = (60 × 70) = 4200

    Sum of the first thirty numbers = (30 × 75) = 2250

    Sum of the last thirty numbers = (30 × 85) = 2550

    So, thirtieth term = 2250 + 2550 - 4200 = 600
