If (S_{n+2}-S_n=155), what is the value of (n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 76

Let \(S_n\) be the sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers. In \(S_{n+2}-S_n\), the common initial terms cancel, leaving \((n+1)+(n+2)=2n+3\). Thus, \(2n+3=155\), so \(2n=152\) and \(n=76\). If \(n=77\), the difference would be \(157\), not \(155\). Exam tip: In differences of sums, cancel the common terms and add only the remaining terms.
