If (S_n=20100), what is the value of (n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (200)

The direct answer is option C, n=200. Use S_n=n(n+1)/2. We are given n(n+1)/2=20100, so n(n+1)=40200. The consecutive numbers 200 and 201 have product 200×201=40200. Therefore n=200, and checking gives S_200=200×201/2=20100. Option A, 198, gives 198×199/2=19701, not 20100. Option B, 199, gives 199×200/2=19900, also too small. Option C works exactly. Option D, 201, gives 201×202/2=20301, which is too large. The sum increases with n, so the neighboring options confirm the result. Do not confuse n with n+1: the answer is the first factor in the consecutive product. Memory cue: double 20100 and find consecutive factors 200 and 201.
