If (S_{n+3}-S_{n-2}=760), what is the value of (n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 151

Here, \(S_k\) denotes the sum of the first \(k\) natural numbers. In \(S_{n+3}-S_{n-2}\), the terms from \(1\) to \(n-2\) cancel, leaving \((n-1)+n+(n+1)+(n+2)+(n+3)=5n+5\). Thus, \(5n+5=760\), so \(5n=755\) and \(n=151\). If \(n=152\), the difference would be \(765\), so it is not correct. Exam tip: when subtracting two partial sums, write only the uncancelled consecutive terms.
