If (S_n=6903), what is the value of (S_{n+5}-S_n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (600)

Use the formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers: \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Since \(S_n=6903\), we solve \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}=6903\), so \(n(n+1)=13806\). The consecutive numbers 117 and 118 have product \(117\times118=13806\), hence n=117. The difference \(S_{n+5}-S_n\) is therefore the sum of the next five terms: 118 through 122.

Adding them gives \(118+119+120+121+122=600\). A quick check uses their average, 120, multiplied by 5: \(5 imes120=600\). Hence option B is correct. The important step is that subtracting the two partial sums removes the first n terms and leaves exactly the next five terms. The supplied answer and explanation are consistent.
