What is the value of S₁₄₄ − 2S₇₂?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5184

Answer: D, 5184. Apply Sₙ = n(n + 1)/2 to each partial sum. First, S₁₄₄ = 144 × 145/2 = 72 × 145 = 10440. Next, S₇₂ = 72 × 73/2 = 36 × 73 = 2628, so 2S₇₂ = 2 × 2628 = 5256. Therefore S₁₄₄ − 2S₇₂ = 10440 − 5256 = 5184. Thus option D is correct. Option A, B, and C do not result from the correct substitution and operation. A likely error is to forget the coefficient 2 and subtract only S₇₂, which would give 7812, not one of the listed answers; another error is to treat 2S₇₂ as S₁₄₄ or as S₁₄₄₋₂. The coefficient 2 multiplies the complete value of S₇₂, not its index. Calculate each sum first, then apply the subtraction.
