In a hall, the (1)st row has (1) seat and the (26)th row has (26) seats. How many seats are there in all rows?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (351)

The direct answer is option C, 351 seats. Row 1 has 1 seat, row 2 has 2 seats, and so on; therefore row 26 has 26 seats and the total is 1+2+...+26. This is the sum of the first 26 natural numbers: \(S_{26}=26×27/2=351\). Option A, 325, is not the correct triangular sum. Option B, 338, also does not equal the required total. Option C, 351, exactly equals the calculated total, so it is correct. Option D, 364, is larger than the total. A common mistake is to multiply 26 by 26; the last row gives only the final term, not the sum of all rows. Use \(n(n+1)/2\) whenever the number of seats equals the row number.
