What is the 18th term of the AP (16, 24, 32, 40, ...)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 152

This is an nth-term problem for an arithmetic progression. The first term is a = 16, and the common difference is d = 24 − 16 = 8. The governing formula is a_n = a + (n − 1)d because the first term is followed by n − 1 equal jumps. Substituting n = 18 gives a_18 = 16 + (18 − 1) × 8 = 16 + 17 × 8 = 16 + 136 = 152. Therefore option D is correct. A frequent error is to use 18 × 8 without correctly accounting for the starting term and the number of jumps. The value 144 may arise from multiplying the term number by the difference, while 160 comes from adding an incorrect extra step. Exactly seventeen differences are required after the first term.
