The number of pages in chapters of a book increases as (12,16,20,\ldots). How many pages will the (18)th chapter have?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 80

This is an arithmetic progression with first term \(a=12\) and common difference \(d=16-12=4\). The \(n\)th term is \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Therefore, \(a_{18}=12+(18-1)\times4=12+68=80\). Hence, the 18th chapter will have 80 pages. Option 84 would result from incorrectly using a larger increase than the actual common difference. Exam tip: Always use \(n-1\), not \(n\), in the nth-term formula.
