In a game, marks from (1) to (20) are scored in the first (20) stages, and (0) marks in the next (5) stages. What is the total score?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 210

The marks in the first 20 stages are the sum of natural numbers from 1 to 20: \(S_{20}=\frac{20\times21}{2}=210\). The next 5 stages contribute 0 marks, so they do not change the total. Therefore, the total score is 210. A common error is getting 200 by forgetting the \(n+1\) factor in the sum formula. Exam tip: use \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) for the sum from 1 to \(n\).
