If the sum of the first n natural numbers is 91, choose n.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 13

The governing relation is S_n = n(n + 1)/2. Since the given sum is 91, set n(n + 1)/2 = 91 and multiply by 2 to obtain n(n + 1) = 182. Checking the choices, n = 13 gives 13 × 14 = 182, so S_13 = 182/2 = 91. Therefore option B is correct. The neighboring sums confirm the result: S_12 = 12 × 13/2 = 78, while S_14 = 14 × 15/2 = 105. Because the sum strictly increases as n increases through positive integers, no other listed value can give 91. The number 14 appears as the second factor when n is 13; it is not itself the required value of n.
