If (S_n=2485), what is the value of (S_n-S_{n-5})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 340

Here, \(S_n\) denotes the sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers. From \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}=2485\), we get \(n=70\), since \(\frac{70\times71}{2}=2485\). Therefore, \(S_n-S_{n-5}=S_{70}-S_{65}\), which is the sum of the last five numbers: \(66,67,68,69,70\). Hence, \(66+67+68+69+70=340\). Choosing 350 would miss the correct first term, 66, among these five terms. Exam tip: \(S_n-S_{n-r}\) always represents the sum of the last \(r\) terms.
