If S_n = 1830, what is the value of S_{n+10} - S_n?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 655

The governing concept is the sum of the first n natural numbers: S_n = 1 + 2 + ... + n = n(n+1)/2. Since S_n = 1830, we have n(n+1)/2 = 1830, so n(n+1) = 3660. The positive integer satisfying this equation is n = 60, because 60 × 61 / 2 = 1830. Therefore, S_{n+10} - S_n = S_70 - S_60. The first 60 terms cancel, leaving only 61 + 62 + ... + 70. This is an arithmetic progression with 10 terms, first term 61, and last term 70. Its sum is 10/2 × (61 + 70) = 5 × 131 = 655. Thus option B is correct. The other choices arise from using an incorrect value of n, counting the new terms incorrectly, or making an addition error.
