Find the value of (S_{40}+S_{60}-S_{50}).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1375

The sum of the first n natural numbers is \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Thus, \(S_{40}=\frac{40\times41}{2}=820\), \(S_{60}=\frac{60\times61}{2}=1830\), and \(S_{50}=\frac{50\times51}{2}=1275\). Therefore, \(S_{40}+S_{60}-S_{50}=820+1830-1275=1375\). An answer such as 1385 can result from an error while evaluating one of the sums. Exam tip: calculate each \(S_n\) separately before performing the final addition and subtraction.
