    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Required sum = (2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 30)

    This is an A.P. in which a = 2, d = (4 - 2) = 2 and l = 30.

    Let the number of terms be n. Then,

    tn = 30     a + (n - 1)d = 30

     2 + (n - 1) x 2 = 30

     n - 1 = 14

     n = 15

    Sn =\(\frac { n } { 2 }(a+1) \)=\(\frac { 15 } { 2 }* (2+30)\)=240
