If the sum of the first (r) natural numbers is (153), what is the value of (r+2)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 19

The sum of the first r natural numbers is \\(\frac{r(r+1)}{2}\\). Thus, \\(\frac{r(r+1)}{2}=153\\), so \\(r(r+1)=306=17\times18\\) and \\(r=17\\). Therefore, \\(r+2=17+2=19\\). Option 18 is only the value of \\(r+1\\), not \\(r+2\\). Exam tip: when a sum is given, first use \\(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\\) to find n.
