If (S_n-S_{n-5}=490), what will be the value of (n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(100\)

Here, \(S_n\) denotes the sum of the first \(n\) natural numbers. Therefore, \(S_n-S_{n-5}\) leaves only the last five terms: \((n-4)+(n-3)+(n-2)+(n-1)+n=5n-10\). Thus, \(5n-10=490\), so \(5n=500\) and \(n=100\). If \(n=98\), the sum would be \(480\), so it is not correct. Exam tip: \(S_n-S_{n-k}\) contains the \(k\) terms from \(n-k+1\) to \(n\).
