Find the sum of the natural numbers from 251 to 300.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 13775

Use the partial-sum difference rule for a consecutive range: the sum from a to b equals S_b − Sₐ₋₁, with Sₖ = k(k + 1)/2. Since the range is 251 through 300, calculate S₃₀₀ − S₂₅₀. We have S₃₀₀ = 300 × 301 / 2 = 150 × 301 = 45150, and S₂₅₀ = 250 × 251 / 2 = 125 × 251 = 31375. Subtracting gives 45150 − 31375 = 13775. Thus option B is correct. This method excludes all numbers through 250 and retains exactly 251 to 300. Adding the 50 terms directly would also work, but the partial-sum method is quicker and less error-prone for a large interval. The neighboring options result from arithmetic mistakes.
