In an arithmetic progression, S₆ = 165 and S₁₄ = 665. Find the sum of the 7th to 14th terms.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 500

The governing concept is the meaning of a partial sum. S₁₄ is the sum of the first fourteen terms, and S₆ is the sum of the first six terms. Subtracting the smaller partial sum from the larger one cancels the first six terms and leaves the terms numbered 7 through 14. Therefore the required sum is S₁₄−S₆=665−165=500. Hence option A is correct. There is no need to find the first term or common difference, because the requested consecutive block is obtained directly from the two given sums. The alternative values 510, 520, and 530 do not follow from the stated subtraction and most likely arise from a simple arithmetic error. This method is valid because both partial sums refer to the same arithmetic progression and begin at its first term.
