Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Sum from 1 to 100=100×1012=5,050100 = \frac{100 \times 101}{2} = 5{,}050.

  2. Sum from 1 to 50=50×512=1,27550 = \frac{50 \times 51}{2} = 1{,}275.

  3. Sum from 51 to 100=5,050−1,275=3,775100 = 5{,}050 - 1{,}275 = 3{,}775.

Worth noting

Subtracting only the numbers 1 to 49 (1,225) gives 3,825, which wrongly includes 50.
