Which number should be added to (S_{95}) to get (S_{105})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1005

If \(S_n\) denotes the sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers, the required number is \(S_{105}-S_{95}\). Thus, we must add \(96+97+\cdots+105\). There are 10 terms, with average \(\frac{96+105}{2}=100.5\), so their sum is \(10\times100.5=1005\). A distractor such as 1015 can result from incorrectly counting the terms or the last term. Exam tip: the difference of two partial sums leaves only the intervening terms.
