What is obtained by subtracting the sum of the first 60 natural numbers from the sum of the first 64 natural numbers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 250

The governing concept is the sum of the first n natural numbers and cancellation of common terms. Let Sₙ = 1 + 2 + ... + n. In S₆₄ − S₆₀, the terms 1 through 60 occur in both sums and cancel, leaving 61 + 62 + 63 + 64. Pairing the remaining terms gives (61 + 64) + (62 + 63) = 125 + 125 = 250. The standard formula confirms this: S₆₄ = 64×65/2 = 2080 and S₆₀ = 60×61/2 = 1830, so their difference is 2080 − 1830 = 250. Hence option C is correct. The other options can result from omitting a remaining term or making an arithmetic error.
