Răspuns:
400 : 12 = 33 r 4
primul numar va fi 400 + 6 = 406
600 : 12 = 50 rest 0
ultimul numar va fi 600 - 2 = 598
S = 406 + (406+12) + .. + (598-12)+ (598)
= (12×33+10) + (12×34+10) + .. + (12×48+10) + (12×49+10)
= 12(33 + 34 + .. + 48 + 49) + 10×(49-33+1)
= 12(33 + 34 + .. + 48 + 49) + 10×17
= 12[1 + 2 + .. + 33 + 34 + .. +48 + 49 - (1 + 2 + .. + 32)] + 170
= 12(49×50/2 - 32×33/2) + 170
= 12(1225 - 528) + 170
= 12×697 + 170
= 8364 + 170
= 8534
