Which sum is formed when 38 and 39 are added to 1 + 2 + 3 + ⋯ + 37?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: S₃₉

The governing idea is the definition of a partial sum: Sₘ = 1 + 2 + 3 + ⋯ + m. The expression already contains every natural number from 1 through 37. Adding the next consecutive terms, 38 and 39, produces 1 + 2 + ⋯ + 37 + 38 + 39, which is exactly the sum of the first 39 natural numbers, S₃₉. Thus option C is correct. It is not S₃₈ because that would stop after adding 38, and it is not S₄₀ because the term 40 has not been included. Option A ignores both added terms. The important step is to track the largest included natural number, not to add the numerical values 38 and 39 to the subscript.
