What is the value of (S_{18}+S_{12}), where (S_n) is the sum of the first (n) natural numbers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 249

The sum of the first n natural numbers is \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Thus, \(S_{18}=\frac{18\times19}{2}=171\) and \(S_{12}=\frac{12\times13}{2}=78\). Therefore, \(S_{18}+S_{12}=171+78=249\). Option 239 is incorrect because it is not the sum of these two correct values. Exam tip: In such questions, first use \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) to find each required sum separately.
