i dont understand how to do it may u PLEASE explain to me

First room is numbered with d then numbers are: d , (d+2),(d+4),.....
( to find next odd integer we add 2 , for example 3+2 = 5, 5 + 2 = 7 )

this is a series of arithmetic progression, where first term is d and
common difference is 2 ....

now we have to find the sum of first seven terms

to find sum of first n terms, we use Sn = ( n/2 ) * { 2a + (n-1)d }
where n : no. of terms

a : the first term
d : the common difference

here n = 7, a = d (according to question) , d = 2

S7= (7/2) * { 2d + (7-1)*2}
= (7/2) * { 2d + 12 }
= (7/2) * 2 { d + 6}
= 7{d + 6}
= 7d + 42

sum = 7d + 42

Sometimes there may be typing mistake in solution of a problem, so please ignore it. Understand the concept and try the problem yourself. If there is problem related to concept, contact at sudhanshu.cochin@gmail.com
