If (S_n=1225), what will be the value of (S_{n+2})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1326)

The direct answer is option B, 1326. Use S_n=n(n+1)/2. We need to identify n from S_n=1225. Since S_49=49·50/2=49·25=1225, n=49. Therefore n+2=51. Now calculate S_51=51·52/2=51·26=1326. Option A, 1275, is S_50, so it stops one term too early. Option B is S_51 and is correct. Option C, 1378, is S_52, so it goes one term too far. Option D, 1431, is S_53, even farther away. Another quick check is S_51=S_49+50+51=1225+101=1326. This is useful because moving from S_n to S_{n+2} means adding the next two numbers, n+1 and n+2. The common mistake is to find n=49 but add only 50 or use S_52. Memory cue: S_{n+2}=S_n+(n+1)+(n+2).
