    1. 5600
    2. 5656
    3. 5680
    4. 4000
Correct Option: C

We can write , (45 + 46 + 47 + ....... + 114 + 115) = (1 + 2 + 3 +..... + 115) – (1 + 2 + 3 + .... + 44)

∵ 1 + 2 + 3 + ..... + n =
n ( n + 1)
2

Required answer =
115 × (115 + 1)
-
44 × (44 + 1)
22

Required answer =
115 × 116
-
44 × 45
