If aₙ = 3n + p and a₁₂ = 50, what is a₂₇?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 95

The direct term rule is aₙ = 3n + p, but the unknown constant p must first be found from the given term. Put n = 12 and use a₁₂ = 50: 50 = 3(12) + p = 36 + p, so p = 14. Now substitute n = 27 into the same rule: a₂₇ = 3(27) + 14 = 81 + 14 = 95. Therefore option B is correct. The expression also represents an arithmetic progression because increasing n by one increases aₙ by 3, so its common difference is 3. As a second check, a₂₇ − a₁₂ = 15 × 3 = 45, and 50 + 45 = 95. Option A may omit or mishandle p, while options C and D arise from arithmetic or index errors.
