Detailed Solution

The given multiples of 13 are, 13,26,39,..... The numbers form an AP with first term 13 and common difference 13.
So, we get
a=13,d=13,n=20 We know that sum of first n terms of an AP,
Sn=n2[2a+(n-1)d] On substituting the values, we get
S20=202[2×13+(20-1)13] S20=10[26+19×13] S20=10[26+247] S20=2730 Therefore, the sum of first 20 multiples of 13 is 2730.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
