Which is the sum of the first (17) natural numbers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 153

The sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers is \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Therefore, \(S_{17}=\frac{17\times18}{2}=17\times9=153\). Hence, option C is correct. A value such as \(148\) does not result from the correct calculation of \(\frac{17\times18}{2}\). Exam tip: For the sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers, directly use \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\).
