If (S_{5p}=5050), what is the value of (p)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 20

The sum of the first n natural numbers is \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). From \(S_{5p}=5050\), we get \(\frac{5p(5p+1)}{2}=5050\). Since \(\frac{100\times101}{2}=5050\), \(5p=100\), so \(p=20\). If p were 18, the index would be 90, whose sum is not 5050. Exam tip: recognise 5050 as half the product of two consecutive numbers first.
