74. Sum of Paired Products

The first five positive integers are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The first five multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30. For each position, multiply the two corresponding numbers (1 × 6, 2 × 12, and so on). What is the sum of these five products?

Hint:

Find each product separately, then add the five results together.

Solution:

The paired products are:
1 × 6 = 6
2 × 12 = 24
3 × 18 = 54
4 × 24 = 96
5 × 30 = 150

Sum: 6 + 24 + 54 + 96 + 150 = 330.

Therefore, the required sum is 330.
