What is the ratio of (S_{72}) to (S_{24})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(219:25\)

The sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers is \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Thus, \(S_{72}=\frac{72\times73}{2}=2628\) and \(S_{24}=\frac{24\times25}{2}=300\). Therefore, \(S_{72}:S_{24}=2628:300=219:25\), so option B is correct. Option \(219:20\) does not result from simplifying the ratio correctly. Exam tip: substitute the value of \(n\) carefully in the sum formula before reducing the ratio.
