If an arithmetic progression has S₇ = 126 and S₁₄ = 427, what is the sum of the 8th to 14th terms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 301

The governing concept is the relationship between partial sums. S₇ denotes the sum of the first seven terms, whereas S₁₄ denotes the sum of the first fourteen terms. When S₇ is subtracted from S₁₄, the first seven terms cancel term by term, leaving only the 8th, 9th, ..., 14th terms. Hence the required sum is S₁₄−S₇ = 427−126 = 301. Therefore option C is correct. It is unnecessary to calculate the first term or the common difference because the two given partial sums already isolate the requested block of terms. The other choices do not result from the correct subtraction: 281, 291, and 311 reflect arithmetic or transcription errors rather than a valid AP method. This subtraction rule works for any sequence whenever the relevant partial sums are known.
