    A 6,321 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7,770 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5,360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4,205 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Numbers divisible by 7 between 1 and 300 are: 7, 14, 21, …, 294 This is an arithmetic progression (AP): First term a = 7 Common difference d = 7 Last term l = 294 Find number of terms n: l = a + (n − 1)d 294 = 7 + (n − 1)×7 294 − 7 = 7(n − 1) 287 = 7(n − 1) n − 1 = 41 n = 42 Sum of n terms of AP: S = n/2 × (first + last) = 42/2 × (7 + 294) = 21 × 301 = 21 × 300 + 21 × 1 = 6,300 + 21 = 6,321
