What will be the value of (S_{120}-S_{110})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1155)

The direct answer is option A, \(1155\). By definition, \(S_{120}=1+2+\cdots+120\) and \(S_{110}=1+2+\cdots+110\). Subtracting cancels the common terms 1 through 110, leaving \(111+112+\cdots+120\), ten terms. Pair the first and last: each pair has sum \(111+120=231\); there are five pairs, so the total is \(5\times231=1155\). Option A is correct. Option B, 1165, is 10 too high; option C, 1175, and option D, 1185, likewise do not equal the remaining-term sum. Using formulas also gives \(\frac{120\times121}{2}-\frac{110\times111}{2}=7260-6105=1155\). Memory cue: \(S_m-S_k\) leaves terms \(k+1\) through \(m\).
