If Sₙ = 231, what will be Sₙ₊₄?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 325

Direct answer: Sₙ₊₄ = 325, so option A is correct. Use Sₙ = n(n + 1)/2. We need to identify n from 231. Since 21 × 22/2 = 21 × 11 = 231, the given condition is S₂₁ = 231, so n = 21. The requested index is n + 4 = 25, not a change in the sum itself. Therefore calculate S₂₅ = 25 × 26/2 = 25 × 13 = 325. A direct check gives the same result: add the next four terms after 21 to S₂₁, namely 22 + 23 + 24 + 25 = 94; then 231 + 94 = 325. Option B, 351, is S₂₆ and may result from using one extra term. C and D correspond to still larger indices. The key distinction is between an index shift and adding a number to a sum. Memory cue: Sₙ₊₄ means the sum through the fourth next term, so first find n and then use n + 4 in the formula.
