If (S_n=4656), what is the value of (S_{n+12}-S_n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1230)

The direct answer is option A, 1230. For the first n natural numbers, S_n=n(n+1)/2. First solve n(n+1)/2=4656, or n(n+1)=9312. Since 96×97=9312, n=96. Now S_{n+12}-S_n means the sum of the next 12 natural numbers after 96: 97+98+...+108. There are 12 terms, and their average is (97+108)/2=205/2=102.5. Thus the sum is 12×102.5=1230. Equivalently, S_108-S_96=(108×109-96×97)/2=1230. Option A works. Option B, 1240, option C, 1250, and option D, 1260 are all larger than the correctly calculated sum. A common error is to add 96 itself or to use 12 terms ending at 109. Memory cue: S_{n+k}-S_n contains terms n+1 through n+k.
