If Sᵧ = 7381, what is the value of Sᵧ₊₂?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7626

Answer: C, 7626. Use Sᵧ = y(y + 1)/2. We need y(y + 1)/2 = 7381. Since 121 × 122/2 = 121 × 61 = 7381, y = 121. Moving from Sᵧ to Sᵧ₊₂ does not add y and y + 1; y is already included in Sᵧ. It adds the next two terms, y + 1 and y + 2, which are 122 and 123. Therefore Sᵧ₊₂ = Sᵧ + 122 + 123 = 7381 + 245 = 7626. Hence option C is correct. Option A, 7586, comes from an incorrect addition or omission. Option B may result from adding only part of the required increase, and option D is too large because it adds an incorrect amount. The important indexing rule is Sᵣ₊₂ − Sᵣ = (r + 1) + (r + 2), because the original last term r is already present.
