If Sₙ = n(n + 1)/2 and Sₙ = 7503, what is the value of n?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 122

The governing formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers is Sₙ = n(n + 1)/2. Substitute the given value: n(n + 1)/2 = 7503, so n(n + 1) = 15006. Testing the nearby options is efficient: for n = 122, 122 × 123 = 15006, and division by 2 gives 7503. Hence n = 122, so option C is correct. The neighboring values give different sums: n = 121 gives 121 × 122 / 2 = 7381, while n = 123 gives 123 × 124 / 2 = 7626. Since n represents a natural-number count, the positive value is selected; a negative quadratic root would not describe the number of terms.
