one way is by realizing that the above sequence is only a sum of 201's a hundred times,which is equal to: 201*100 =20100

A = 1 + 2 + 3 + + 199 + 200 A=1+2+3+\ldots+199+200

2 A = 201 + 201 + 201 + + 201 = 201 × 200 2 \Rightarrow 2A= 201+201+201+\ldots+201=\frac{201\times200}{2}

A = 201 × 100 = 20100 \Rightarrow A= 201\times 100=\boxed{20100}

1 + 2 + 3 + . . . . . . . . . . 200 = 200 × 201 2 = 20100 1+2+3+..........200=\frac{200 \times 201}{2}=20100

Sum of n no.s =n(n+1)/2 So... 200(200+1)/2=100(201)=20100
