In a contest, the first question gives (5) marks and each next question gives (3) more marks. What are the marks for the (20)th question?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 62

The marks form an arithmetic progression with first term \(a=5\) and common difference \(d=3\). The \(n\)th term is \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Therefore, \(a_{20}=5+(20-1)\times3=5+57=62\). Hence, the 20th question carries 62 marks. The option 65 results from incorrectly using \(20\) instead of \(20-1\). Exam tip: In the nth-term formula of an AP, always use \((n-1)\).
