731
729
730
728
Hint 1: Identify the first and last two-digit multiples of 7: they are 14 and 98.
Hint 2: This is an arithmetic progression with a first term of 14, a last term of 98, and a common difference of 7. Count the number of terms.
Hint 3: Use the arithmetic series sum formula to compute the sum.
Step 1: The two-digit multiples of form an Arithmetic Progression (AP):
Smallest two-digit multiple: ()
Largest two-digit multiple: ()
Step 2: The terms are: .
The number of terms is given by:
Step 3: The sum of an AP is given by:
where (first term) and (last term). Substituting the values:
So the sum is .
