I’m not sure if this what your looking for ur hopefully it is correct:)

Correct option is B)
The sum of first n terms of arithmetic series formula can be written as,
S
n

=
2
n

[2a+(n−1)d]
Where n = number of terms ⇒ 20
a = first odd number ⇒ 2
d = common difference of A.P. ⇒ 2
Apply the given data in the formula,
S
20

=
2
20

[2×2+(20−1)2]
=10[4+(19)2]
=10[4+38]
=10[42]
=420
So, the sum of first 20 multiples of 2 is 420.
