If \(S_n=1+2+3+\cdots+n\) is the sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers, which relation between \(S_{2n}\) and \(S_n\) is always true?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(S_{2n}=2S_n+n^2\)

\(S_{2n}=\frac{2n(2n+1)}{2}=n(2n+1)\), whereas \(2S_n=n(n+1)\). Their difference is \(n^2\), so \(S_{2n}=2S_n+n^2\). Option D ignores this extra \(n^2\) term. Exam tip: substitute \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) before comparing such expressions.
