Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sequence be a₁,a₂,a₃,a₄,a₅,.........a₁₀₀₀.
Step 1: Every position in the sequence is increased by 2.
Step 2: Every even position in the sequence is increased by 2.
Step 3: Every 3rd term in the sequence is increased by 2.
........
Analysis:
a₁ is added by 2 only in step 1
a₂ is added by 2 in steps 1 and 2
a₃ is added by 2 in steps 1 and 3
............
Clearly it is evident that any term aₓ is added by 2 in step n ,
if and only if n is the factor of x.
Now, if we factorize 600 we get , 600 =2³×3×5².
Thus total number of factors of 600 are (1+3)×(1+1)×(1+2) = 24.
So, during each of these 24 steps a₆₀₀ will be added by 2.
Thus a₆₀₀ would be added by 2 24 times , hence a₆₀₀ would be
increased by 24×2 = 48.
