What is the sum of the sum of the first (20) natural numbers and the sum of the first (5) natural numbers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 225

The sum of the first n natural numbers is \\(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\\). Thus, the sum of the first 20 natural numbers is \\(\frac{20\times21}{2}=210\\), and the sum of the first 5 natural numbers is \\(\frac{5\times6}{2}=15\\). Therefore, the required total is \\(210+15=225\\). The value 220 does not equal the sum of the first 20 natural numbers and may result from an incorrect calculation. Exam tip: calculate each sum separately before adding them.
