Which sum is obtained by adding (116+117+118+119+120) to (S_{115})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (S_{120})

The direct answer is option D, \(S_{120}\). By definition, \(S_{115}=1+2+\cdots+115\). Adding the next consecutive terms \(116,117,118,119,120\) extends the sum without skipping any number: \(S_{115}+116+117+118+119+120=1+2+\cdots+120=S_{120}\). Option D is correct. Option A, \(S_{117}\), would include only 116 and 117 after \(S_{115}\), leaving 118–120 out. Option B, \(S_{118}\), leaves 119 and 120 out. Option C, \(S_{119}\), leaves 120 out. The final added term determines the new upper index because all intermediate terms are also added. Memory cue: start at \(S_k\), add every next term through \(m\), and obtain \(S_m\).
