A student adds the first (18) natural numbers. What is the correct sum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 171

The sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers is \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Substituting \(n=18\) gives \(\frac{18\times19}{2}=171\), so option A is correct. \(190\) is the sum from \(1\) to \(19\), not from \(1\) to \(18\). Exam tip: in \(n(n+1)/2\), use \(n\) as the number of terms given in the question.
