If S_n = 9180, what is the value of n?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 135

The governing formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers is S_n = n(n+1)/2. Substituting the given value gives n(n+1)/2 = 9180, so n(n+1) = 18360. We now look for consecutive positive integers whose product is 18360. Since 135 × 136 = 18360, n = 135 satisfies the equation. A direct check gives S_135 = 135 × 136/2 = 135 × 68 = 9180. Because n represents the number of terms, it must be a positive natural number, so this solution is valid and unique. Thus option B is correct. The other choices give different consecutive products and therefore cannot produce the stated sum.
