If \(S_n\) denotes the sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers, which of the following relations is always true?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(S_n-S_{n-1}=n\)

\(S_n=1+2+\cdots+(n-1)+n\), whereas \(S_{n-1}=1+2+\cdots+(n-1)\). On subtraction, all common terms cancel and only \(n\) remains, so A is correct. Option B misses the last term by one. Exam tip: the difference of consecutive partial sums is the newly added term.
