Which sum is obtained by adding (133+134+\cdots+140) to (S_{132})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (S_{140})

Direct answer: option C, \(S_{140}\). By definition, \(S_{132}=1+2+\cdots+132\). Adding \(133+134+\cdots+140\) continues the same sequence without a gap, so the complete sum becomes \(1+2+\cdots+140=S_{140}\). Option A, \(S_{136}\), stops four terms too early and omits 137, 138, 139 and 140. Option B, \(S_{138}\), still omits 139 and 140. Option C includes every term from 1 through 140, so it is correct. Option D, \(S_{142}\), would include two extra terms, 141 and 142, which were not added. No numerical calculation is needed; simply inspect the first sum and the consecutive added terms. Memory cue: when a partial natural-number sum is extended continuously, the last included number becomes the new subscript.
