If Sₙ = 300, what will be Sₙ₊₃?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 378

Direct answer: Sₙ₊₃ = 378, so option B is correct. First find n from Sₙ = n(n + 1)/2 = 300. Since 24 × 25/2 = 300, n = 24. Therefore n + 3 = 27, and the required quantity is S₂₇, not 300 + 3. Now calculate S₂₇ = 27 × 28/2 = 27 × 14 = 378. A second method makes the index shift clear: after the first 24 terms, add the next three terms 25, 26, and 27. Thus S₂₇ = S₂₄ + 25 + 26 + 27 = 300 + 78 = 378. Option A, 351, corresponds to S₂₆; C and D are still larger sums and arise from using an incorrect index or arithmetic. The important habit is to determine n before evaluating Sₙ₊₃. Memory cue: increasing the subscript by 3 means adding the next three natural-number terms, not adding 3 to the sum.
