What is the value of S₈₅ − S₈₀?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 415

By definition, S₈₅ contains the terms 1 through 85, while S₈₀ contains the terms 1 through 80. When S₈₀ is subtracted from S₈₅, the common first 80 terms cancel, leaving 81 + 82 + 83 + 84 + 85. This is a sum of five consecutive terms. Using the average method, its value is [(81 + 85)/2] × 5 = 83 × 5 = 415. Therefore option C is correct. The term 80 must not be included in the remainder because it appears in both sums and cancels. The other choices can result from including 80, omitting one remaining term, or making a small addition error.
