What is half of the sum of the first (84) natural numbers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1785

The sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers is \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Thus, \(S_{84}=\frac{84\times85}{2}=3570\). Half of this sum is \(\frac{3570}{2}=1785\), so option B is correct. A nearby value such as \(1815\) may look plausible, but it is not half of the required sum. Exam tip: first find the total using \(n(n+1)/2\), then apply the fraction asked for—in this case, one-half.
