What is the sum of the integers in the table above?
A 28
B 112
C 336
D 448
E 784
Please help.
Look for a pattern.
The table shows the results of multiplying every integer in the top row by every integer in the leftmost column.
Thus, we need to determine the sum of all these products:
(Top row)*(Leftmost column) = (1+2+3+4+5+6+7)(1-2+3-4+5-6+7) = 28*4 = 112.
The correct answer is
B.

Use the same reasoning as above, omitting the bottom 2 rows:
(Top row)*(Leftmost column) = (1+2+3+4+5+6+7)(1-2+3-4+5) = 28*3 = 84.
