Let first number = 23
Sequence is 23, 23+4, 23+5, 23+9, 23+10, . . . .
In first 19, there are 10 Odd terms & 9 Even terms
Odd terms \(t_1\), \(t_3\), \(t_5\). . . . . . . .\(t_{19}\) are 23, 23+5, 23+10 . . . . . . 23+45 --> AP series with common difference 5
Even terms \(t_2\), \(t_4\), \(t_6\). . . . . . . .\(t_{18}\) are 23+4, 23+9, 23+14, . . . . . . 23+44 --> AP series with common difference 5
Sum of Odd terms = n/2*(1st term + last term) = 10/2*(23 + 68) = 455
Sum of Even terms =9/2*(1st term + last term) = 9/2*(27 + 67) = 9/2*94 = 423
Total sum = 455 + 423 = 878
IMO Option A
Pls Hit Kudos if you like the solution

23,27,28,32,33,37..we can see that each pair sums up to be 50, 60, 70 and so on till 130 as there 9 pairs
Hence sums up to be 810 till 18th term
Since we know each pair has a difference of 4 therefore 17th and 18th term = 2x+4 =130
17 th term = 63
Hence 19th term = 63+5 =68
Hence sum = 810+68=878
