If \(S_u=1431\) and \(S_v=3321\), what is the value of \(u+v\), where \(S_k=1+2+\cdots+k\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 134

Use the triangular-number formula \(S_k=\frac{k(k+1)}2\). To identify \(u\), observe that \(S_{53}=\frac{53\cdot54}{2}=53\cdot27=1431\), so \(u=53\). For the second value, \(S_{81}=\frac{81\cdot82}{2}=81\cdot41=3321\), so \(v=81\). Consequently, \(u+v=53+81=134\), which is option A. The positive indices are appropriate because each \(S_k\) is the sum of the first k natural numbers. The other choices do not follow from the two exact triangular-number representations; direct substitution verifies that 53 and 81 are the required indices.
