A student added numbers from (1) to (120) and then subtracted the sum from (1) to (80). What will be the result?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4020

The sum of the first 120 natural numbers is \(\frac{120\times121}{2}=7260\), and the sum of the first 80 natural numbers is \(\frac{80\times81}{2}=3240\). Therefore, the required result is \(7260-3240=4020\). This is also the sum of the numbers from 81 to 120. An option such as 4040 can result from an arithmetic error in subtraction. Exam tip: use \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) and subtract the two sums carefully.
