If (S_n=5050), what is the value of (S_{n-10})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4095

The sum of the first n natural numbers is \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Since \(5050=\frac{100\times101}{2}\), we get \(n=100\). Therefore, \(S_{n-10}=S_{90}=\frac{90\times91}{2}=4095\). Option 4186 is not correct because it is the sum of the first 91 natural numbers. Exam tip: Recognise 5050 as \(S_{100}\), then reduce the subscript by 10.
