If (S_{m+2}-S_m=151), what is the value of (m)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 74

Let S_m be the sum of the first m natural numbers. In S_{m+2}-S_m, only the next two numbers, (m+1) and (m+2), remain. Thus, S_{m+2}-S_m=(m+1)+(m+2)=2m+3. Hence 2m+3=151, so 2m=148 and m=74. If m were 73, the difference would be 149, not 151. Exam tip: In differences of such sums, cancel the common initial terms and add only the extra terms.
