Which sum is obtained by adding 76 + 77 + 78 + 79 + 80 to S_75?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: S_80

The notation S_k represents the sum of the first k natural numbers: S_k = 1 + 2 + ... + k. Thus S_75 already contains every term from 1 through 75. The expression adds the five consecutive terms 76, 77, 78, 79, and 80. These are exactly the terms that follow 75, so no number is skipped and no term is repeated. Consequently, S_75 + 76 + 77 + 78 + 79 + 80 = 1 + 2 + ... + 80 = S_80. Therefore option C is correct. S_78 would stop after adding 76, 77, and 78; S_79 would omit 80; and S_81 would require adding one more term, 81, which is not present. The answer follows from tracking the endpoint of the partial sum, not from calculating the numerical total.
