What is the sum of \(121+122+123+\cdots+160\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5620

The governing idea is to convert a consecutive range into a difference of two initial sums. The required terms from 121 through 160 are obtained as \(S_{160}-S_{120}\), because subtracting the sum through 120 removes all terms before 121. Using \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}2\), \(S_{160}=\frac{160\cdot161}{2}=12880\) and \(S_{120}=\frac{120\cdot121}{2}=7260\). Thus the required sum is \(12880-7260=5620\), so option D is correct. An independent check uses 40 terms: their average is \((121+160)/2=140.5\), and \(40\cdot140.5=5620\).
