A tank has (180) litres of water in the first minute and (12) litres drain out each minute. What is the amount of water in the (11)th minute?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(60\) L

The water amounts form a decreasing AP with first term \(a=180\) and common difference \(d=-12\). The 11th term is \(a_{11}=a+(11-1)d=180+10(-12)=60\). Therefore, the correct answer is \(60\) L. \(48\) L results from subtracting \(12\) eleven times, whereas only ten decreases occur from the first term to the 11th term. Exam tip: always use \(n-1\) in the formula for the \(n\)th term.
