If Sₙ = 1275, what is the value of S₍ₙ₊₃₎?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1431

Direct answer: option C, 1431. Since Sₙ is the sum of the first n natural numbers, Sₙ = n(n + 1)/2. The given equation gives n(n + 1)/2 = 1275, so n(n + 1) = 2550. The consecutive numbers 50 and 51 have product 2550, hence n = 50. The required sum is therefore Sₙ₊₃ = S₅₃. Applying the formula again, S₅₃ = 53 × 54/2 = 53 × 27 = 1431. Option A, 1378, does not equal the sum through 53. Option B, 1406, is S₅₂ and reflects increasing the index by only two. Option C is correct because the index must increase from 50 to 53. Option D, 1485, comes from using an incorrect index or arithmetic. Memory cue: first solve for the original index, then apply the requested shift; do not shift the sum value itself.
