The correct answer is: 305

Given, if  S=75+952+1353+1954+ ...i

Dividing by 5 on both sides of series

S5=752+953+1354+1955+ ...ii 

Subtracting equations  i&ii

S-S5=75+952+1353+1954+-752+953+1354+1955+

4S5=75+952-752+1353-953+1954-1354+

4S5=75+252+453+654+855+

4S5-75=k=252+453+654+855+.....iii

Let 4S5-75=k

k5=253+454+655+856+.....iv

Subtracting equation iii & iv

4k5=252+253+254+255

Common ratio

r=253252=15,    r=254253=15

4k5=22511-15=110

k=18

 Now 4S5-75=18

4S5=75+18

S=6132

160S=160×6132

=305
