Sum of an arithmetic series:
Sum = (1st number + last number) x (the number of numbers) /2
Your first number is 2. Your last number is 2 x 100 = 200. The number of numbers in this series is 100 (says so in the question). So your sum equals:
(2 + 200) x 100 / 2 = 202 x 100 / 2 = 10100.

Sum of the first n even numbers starting with 0 (counting 0 as the first number, 2 would be the second number.... etc) is n x (n-1)
98. It's less than 100, and 9 + 8 = 17

No, the sum of a prime number and a composite number is not always even.
