If the sum of the first n even positive integers is S, what is the sum of the first n positive integers, in terms of S ?	Choose the correct choice:
A) S/2 B) S C) 2S D) 2S + 2 E) 4S
S/2nswer is S/2   Given sum of 2 , 4 , 6 ....2n = S   sum of 1 2 3.....n = [sum(2 4 6....2n) ]/2 = S/2
<result>A</result>
