It seem s like i saw this problem on this Forum already!
Anyways My answer is 3825
Sum from 1 to 50 is 50(50+1)/2=25(51)
Sum from 1 to 100 is 100(101)/2=50(101)
Sum from 50 to 100(liitle trap here I guess) is 50(101)-25(51)
50(101)-25(51)=25(2(101)-51)=25*151=3775
Should be 3775 if my math is correct

Average of number from 50 to 100 is (50+100)/2=75

Number of in integer between 50 and 100 ( inclusive) = (50+100)/2 = 75

sum = average*no of integers = 75*51=3825

Sum = (# of numbers)(average)
Sum = (100-50+1)(150/2) = 3,825

50+51+..+100 = (1+...+100) - (1+2+...49)
= (100*101/2) - (49 * 50/2)
= 5050 - 1225
= 3825
