The given series is 3+4+8+9+13+14+18+19+...(40 terms)

This can be written as 

(3+4)+(8+9)+(13+14)+(18+19)+...20 brackets

This is equal to 7+17+27+37+...20 terms

Observing the above series, it is sum of 20 terms of Arithmetic progression with the first term a=7 and the common difference d=10 

We know that the sum of n terms of an Arithmetic progression having first term a and the common difference d is Sn=n22a+n-1d

Therefore, the required sum is 

S20=20227+20-110 =1014+19·10 =1014+190 =10204 =2040

Hence, the value of the given series is 2040 is equal to 102m

Therefore, m=20
