set a contains all the even numbers between 22 and 70 inclusive . set b contains all the even numbers between 62 and 110 inclusive . what is the difference between the sum of elements of set b and the sum of the elements of set a ?
"each term in set b is 40 more than the corresponding term in set a . the difference of the sums = 25 * 40 = 1000 . the answer is c ."
