If S₍ₘ₊₁₎ − Sₘ = 76, what is the value of m?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 75

Direct answer: option B, 75. Sₘ is 1 + 2 + … + m, while S₍ₘ₊₁₎ is 1 + 2 + … + m + (m + 1). When Sₘ is subtracted from S₍ₘ₊₁₎, all common terms cancel and only the newly added term m + 1 remains. Thus S₍ₘ₊₁₎ − Sₘ = m + 1. The question states that this difference is 76, so m + 1 = 76 and m = 75. Option A, 74, subtracts too much. Option B is correct because one is subtracted from 76. Option C, 76, results from forgetting the +1 in the new term. Option D, 77, comes from adding rather than subtracting one. Memory cue: the difference between consecutive partial sums equals the newly added term, not the old endpoint.
