What will be the value of (S_{150}-S_{140})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1455)

The direct answer is option C, \(1455\). Since \(S_{150}=1+\cdots+150\) and \(S_{140}=1+\cdots+140\), subtraction leaves \(141+142+\cdots+150\), which has 10 terms. Pair the ends: \(141+150=291\), \(142+149=291\), and so on. There are five pairs, giving \(5\times291=1455\). Option C is correct. Option A, 1435, is 20 too small. Option B, 1445, is 10 too small. Option D, 1465, is 10 too large. Formula verification: \(S_{150}-S_{140}=150\times151/2-140\times141/2=11325-9870=1455\). Exam cue: a difference of natural-number sums leaves only the terms after the smaller index.
