If the sum of the first (n) natural numbers is (741), what will (n) be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (38)

The direct answer is option C, 38. The sum of the first n natural numbers is found by S_n=n(n+1)/2. We need n(n+1)/2=741. Multiply by 2: n(n+1)=1482. Since 38×39=1482, n=38, and checking gives 38×39/2=741. Option A, 36, gives 36×37/2=666, so it is too small. Option B, 37, gives 37×38/2=703, also too small. Option C, 38, gives exactly 741, so it is correct. Option D, 39, gives 39×40/2=780, which is too large. Remember: for the first n natural numbers, multiply n by the next number and divide by 2.
