Given series is 1,5,9,13,17....
first term (a)= 1
difference b/w first term and second term = 5-1 =4
difference b/w second and third term = 9-5=4
every where difference b/w two consecutive terms is 4
hence the give series is Arithmetic series
formula ;
where n= no of terms
d is common difference
n= 20
d= 4
a = 1
sum =
=
=
=
=780
Result : sum =780
