A student solves 5 questions on the first day and 2 more questions each next day. How many questions will he solve on the 12th day?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 27

The daily numbers form an AP: the first day's value is a = 5 and the fixed daily increase is the common difference d = 2. The day number is the term number, so for the 12th day use aₙ = a + (n − 1)d. Thus a₁₂ = 5 + (12 − 1)×2 = 5 + 11×2 = 5 + 22 = 27. Hence option C is correct. Eleven increases are needed after the first day to reach day twelve. Option A is too small, option B adds one extra increase, and option D does not follow the fixed increment of two. Listing the values as 5, 7, 9, ... also leads to 27 on day twelve.
