The sum of the first (n) natural numbers is (10878). What is the value of (n-25)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 122

The sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers is \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Hence, \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}=10878\), so \(n(n+1)=21756\). Since \(147\times148=21756\), \(n=147\). Therefore, \(n-25=147-25=122\). Thus, option C is correct. A nearby choice such as 120 would give \(n=145\), whose sum is not 10878. Exam tip: after using \(n(n+1)/2\), look for two consecutive integers whose product equals twice the given sum.
