Find the value of S₂₅ + S₂₇, where Sₙ denotes the sum of the first n natural numbers.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 703

Direct answer: option A, 703. The notation Sₙ means 1 + 2 + … + n, so use Sₙ = n(n + 1)/2 separately for both terms. First, S₂₅ = 25 × 26/2 = 25 × 13 = 325. Next, S₂₇ = 27 × 28/2 = 27 × 14 = 378. Adding the two values gives S₂₅ + S₂₇ = 325 + 378 = 703. Option A is therefore correct. Option B, 713, is ten more than the correct result and can arise from a final addition error. Option C, 723, may come from using an incorrect consecutive factor or adding an extra term. Option D, 733, is also inconsistent with the two calculated sums. Do not add the subscripts first: S₂₅ + S₂₇ does not mean S₅₂. Memory cue: calculate each partial sum first, then combine the answers; a subscript identifies the endpoint of one sum.
