If (S_n=6216), what is the value of (n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (111)

The direct answer is option B, \(111\). For the first \(n\) natural numbers, \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}2\). We need \(\frac{n(n+1)}2=6216\), so \(n(n+1)=12432\). Since \(111\times112=12432\), \(n=111\). Verification: \(111\times112/2=111\times56=6216\). Option A, 110, gives \(110\times111/2=6105\). Option B is correct. Option C, 112, gives \(112\times113/2=6328\). Option D, 113, gives \(113\times114/2=6441\). Thus the neighboring choices do not satisfy the given sum. A useful method is to double the sum and look for two consecutive factors. Memory cue: identify \(n\) and \(n+1\) whose product is \(2S_n\).
