A tank has (240) litres of water in the first hour and (18) litres decrease every hour. How much water will be there in the (9)th hour?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 96 litres

The water amounts form a decreasing AP, with first term \(a=240\) and common difference \(d=-18\). Thus, \(a_9=a+(9-1)d=240+8(-18)=96\) litres. The value \(102\) litres would count only 7 decreases, whereas there are 8 decreases from the first hour to the ninth hour. Exam tip: In \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\), use \(n-1\), not \(n\).
