Thanks for any future comments :)

You can find the formula in a manner similar to proving
1+2+3+4+..+n = n*(n+1)/2
Thanks
This is an arithmetic series. usually you can evaluate sequences x, x+d, x+2d, ... x+(n-1)*d by using the fact that x + x+(n-1)*d (simply pairing up the first and nth terms) equals x+d + x+(n-2)*d, + etc so basically you can just find the average of each element, which is (x+x+(n-1)*d) /2 * number of terms
Thanks
Hope it helps!
In second line when we take (b-a+1) as common factor isn't it look like that (b-a+1)*(a+b-a)/2 ? how does it become (a+b)
Ah it's clear now Thanks
