The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$484 = 2^2 \times 11^2$ Sum of all positive divisors $=\left(\frac{2^{3}-1}{2-1}\right)\left(\frac{11^{3}-1}{11-1}\right) $ $=\frac{7}{1}\times\frac{1330}{10}=931$ $\because $ There is only one divisor of $484$ which is greater than $250$ So, sum of all divisors less than $250 = 931- 484 = 447$

Arithmetic Progression

Arithmetic Progression (AP) is a mathematical series in which the difference between any two subsequent numbers is a fixed value.

For example, the natural number sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,... is an AP because the difference between two consecutive terms (say 1 and 2) is equal to one (2 -1). Even when dealing with odd and even numbers, the common difference between two consecutive words will be equal to 2.

In simpler words, an arithmetic progression is a collection of integers where each term is resulted by adding a fixed number to the preceding term apart from the first term.

For eg:- 4,6,8,10,12,14,16

We can notice Arithmetic Progression in our day-to-day lives too, for eg:- the number of days in a week, stacking chairs, etc.
