If S₁₂ = 420 and S₆ = 150 for an AP, what is the sum from the 7th term to the 12th term, inclusive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 270

The governing concept is the difference between two partial sums. S₁₂ is the total of terms 1 through 12, and S₆ is the total of terms 1 through 6. Subtracting S₆ from S₁₂ removes the first six terms and leaves exactly terms 7 through 12. Hence the required sum is S₁₂ - S₆ = 420 - 150 = 270. Therefore option A is correct. No common difference or individual term needs to be calculated. Options B, C and D are close numerical distractors, but each fails to equal the exact difference of the supplied partial sums. The inclusion of the 7th term is why S₆, rather than S₇, must be subtracted.
