If Sₙ − S₍ₙ₋₁₎ = 57, what is the value of Sₙ?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1653

For Sₙ = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n, subtracting S₍ₙ₋₁₎ = 1 + 2 + ... + (n − 1) leaves only the final term n. Hence Sₙ − S₍ₙ₋₁₎ = n. The given difference is 57, so n = 57. Now calculate the required sum: S₅₇ = 57 × 58/2 = 57 × 29 = 1653. Therefore option B is correct. Option A is close but reflects an arithmetic error in the product or division. Options C and D correspond to using a larger index or adding an unrelated term. The important concept is that the difference of two consecutive partial sums identifies the newly included natural number.
