Since the question asked for Max Sn, and there is only one n=20 that makes derivative of Sn w.r.t n equal 0, we assume that n=20 does give the max Sn..

If we want to show that it indeed gives max Sn, we can use the 2nd derivative test.. which i shall post as the next answer.

This continues from the answer above, to show that n=20 indeed give the maximun Sn, if necessary.
