Explanation:

Here, 
1st group has 1 integer
2nd group has 3 integers
3rd group has 5 integers
∴ nth groups will have (2n – 1) integers.

Total inters used till
1st group = 1 = 12
2nd group = 1 + 3 = 22
3rd group = 1 + 3 + 5 = 9 = 32

∴ Total integers used till nth group = n2

∴ Sum of integers in 15th group = Sum of all integers used till 15th group - Sum of all integers used till14th group

= (1 + 2 + 3 + … + 152) - (1 + 2 + 3 + … + 142)

= 225×2262 - 196×1972

= 25425 – 19306 = 6119

Hence, option (b).
