What is obtained by subtracting the sum of the first (160) natural numbers from the sum of the first (200) natural numbers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7220

The sum of the first n natural numbers is \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Thus, \(S_{200}=\frac{200\times201}{2}=20100\) and \(S_{160}=\frac{160\times161}{2}=12880\). Therefore, the required difference is \(20100-12880=7220\). It is also the sum of the numbers from 161 to 200, so an option such as 7120 is incorrect. Exam tip: You can verify such a difference by recognising the remaining sequence from 161 to 200.
