If the AP (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, ...) is given, what will be the 9th term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 22.5

The governing concept is the nth-term formula for an arithmetic progression: a_n = a + (n − 1)d. The first term is a = 2.5, and the common difference is d = 5 − 2.5 = 2.5. To reach the ninth term, we need eight equal jumps after the first term. Therefore, a_9 = 2.5 + (9 − 1)(2.5) = 2.5 + 8 × 2.5 = 2.5 + 20 = 22.5. Hence option B is correct. Option A can result from mishandling the initial term, while option C adds one extra common difference. Option D does not follow the constant step of 2.5. The decimal form causes no difficulty because the nth-term formula works equally with whole numbers and decimals.
