If in an AP, S₁₆ = 880 and S₈ = 280, what is the sum from the 9th term to the 16th term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 600

Direct answer: 600, so option A is correct. S₁₆ means the sum of terms 1 through 16, while S₈ means the sum of terms 1 through 8. Subtracting S₈ from S₁₆ removes the first eight terms and leaves exactly terms 9 through 16: required sum = S₁₆ − S₈ = 880 − 280 = 600. Option A is therefore correct. Option B, 580, option C, 620, and option D, 640, do not equal the difference of the two given partial sums. Adding 880 and 280 would be wrong because it would count the first eight terms twice. Reversing the subtraction would produce −600 and would not represent the requested later block in this context. No value of a or d is needed, making subtraction the shortest valid method. Memory cue: the sum from rth to kth term is S_k − S_{r−1}; here it is S₁₆ − S₈.
