The numbers from -13 to -1 cancels out with the positive integers from 1 to 13. Hence only 14 remains.
As a number's positive and negative summation is 0. So, from -13 to +13 numbers summation is 0. That why, the 14 is only number that is no negative.
So answer is 14
− 1 3 , − 1 2 , . . . . 1 4
a 1 = − 1 3 ; d = − 1 2 − ( − 1 3 ) = 1
a n = a 1 + ( n − 1 ) d ⟹ 1 4 = − 1 3 + ( n − 1 ) 1 ⟹ 2 7 = n − 1 ⟹ 2 8 = n
s = 2 n ( a 1 + a n ) = 2 2 8 ( − 1 3 + 1 4 ) = 1 4

All negative integers from -13 to -1 cancels out all positive integers from 13 to 1. Thus, only 14 is left!
