The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Use sum formula of AP: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a+l) \]

Step 1:
Find first term: \[ a_1 = 5(1)+1=6 \]

Step 2:
Find last term: \[ a_{100} = 5(100)+1=501 \]

Step 3:
Substitute values: \[ S = \frac{100}{2}(6+501) \]

Step 4:
Simplify: \[ = 50 \times 507 \]

Step 5:
Final answer: \[ \boxed{50(507)} \]
