Find the sum of natural numbers from (12) to (29).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (369)

The direct answer is option A, 369. The numbers from 12 through 29 include both endpoints. The sum from 1 to n is S_n=n(n+1)/2. The sum from 1 to 29 is S_29=29·30/2=435. To remove the numbers 1 through 11, calculate S_11=11·12/2=66. Thus the required sum is S_29−S_11=435−66=369. Option A is correct. Option B, 379, is 10 more and may come from an addition error. Option C, 389, is 20 more and is also not obtained by the formula. Option D, 399, is 30 more and is too large. A second check uses the arithmetic-series formula: there are 29−12+1=18 terms, and their average is (12+29)/2=20.5; hence the sum is 18·20.5=369. Be careful not to subtract S_12, because 12 must be included. Memory cue: for a to b, use S_b−S_{a−1}.
