In a competition, (1) point is given for rank (1), (2) points for rank (2), and (13) points for rank (13). What is the total score?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 91

This is the sum of natural numbers from 1 to 13. Using \(1+2+\cdots+n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\), with \(n=13\), we get \(\frac{13\times14}{2}=91\). Hence, 91 is correct. Note that 78 is the sum from 1 to 12, so it is a close but incorrect option. Exam tip: identify the last term as \(n\) and apply \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) directly.
