Question 1194645
<font color=black size=3>
A = Set of first 50 positive even integers
A = {2, 4, 6, ..., 98, 100}
A = {2*1, 2*2, 2*3, ..., 2*49, 2*50}


Adding those items gets us this expression:
2*1+2*2+2*3+...+2*49+2*50
2*(1+2+3+...+49+50)


From here we need to calculate the sum of the first 50 positive integers


S = sum of the first n positive integers
S = n*(n+1)/2
S = 50*(50+1)/2
S = 50*51/2
S = 25*51
S = 1275
which point us to
1+2+3+...+49+50 = 1275


Therefore,
2*(1+2+3+...+49+50) = 2*1275 = 2,550


Answer: Choice A) 2,550
