What is the value of the expression 101 + 102 + 103 + ... + 200?
Answer: B
The sum of an arithmetic progression is given by the formula \(S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a_1 + a_n)\), where \(n\) is the number of terms, \(a_1\) is the first term, and \(a_n\) is the last term.
Number of terms (n) = (Last Term - First Term) + 1 = (200 - 101) + 1 = 100.
First term (\(a_1\)) = 101.
Last term (\(a_n\)) = 200.
Sum = \(\frac{100}{2} \times (101 + 200) = 50 \times 301 = 15050\).
