What is the Sum of First 70 Odd Numbers?
Correct answer: A. 4900
- A. 4900
- B. 4970
- C. 4960
- D. None of these
Explanation
The sum of the first n odd numbers is n² because the terms form 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2n - 1). For n = 70, the sum is 70² = 4,900. The likely wrong choice is 4,970, which is the sum of the first 70 even numbers, not the odd numbers.

About Sequences and Series
Sequences describe ordered terms formed by a pattern, while series represent the sum of those terms. Questions cover arithmetic and geometric sequences, their nth terms, common difference or ratio, finite sums, and applications, with the sequence itself kept distinct from the corresponding series.
