Those are multiples of 5 and odd numbers...

The multiples of 5 between 1 and 1000 are 200 numbers, but you must take only the odd numbers...

5x(1+3+5+...+197+199)=50000.

OA:

Consider 5 15 25 ... 995
l = a + (n-1)*d

l = 995 = last term
a = 5 = first term
d = 10 = difference

995 = 5 + (n-1)*10

thus n = 100 = # of terms

consider 5 10 15 20.... 995

995 = 5 + (n-1)*5

=> n = 199

Another approach...

Just add up 995 + 985 + 975 + 965 + 955 + 945 = 5820, so it has to be greater than 5050, and the only possible choices left are 1) & 4)

Also, series is 5 15 25.... 985 995

# of terms = 100

sum = (100/2)*(2*5 + (100-1)*10) = 50*1000 = 50000
