A student practises for 36 minutes on the first day and 7 more minutes each day. On which day will the practice time be 218 minutes?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 27वाँ दिन

The daily practice times form an arithmetic progression: 36, 43, 50, and so on. Its first term is a₁ = 36 and its common difference is d = 7. Since the question asks for the time on one particular day, we use the nth-term formula rather than a sum formula: aₙ = a₁ + (n − 1)d. Set the term equal to 218: 218 = 36 + 7(n − 1). Thus 182 = 7(n − 1), so n − 1 = 26 and n = 27. Therefore the practice time is 218 minutes on the 27th day, so option C is correct. The nearby alternatives result from an indexing mistake, such as counting the first day as day zero, or from adding or subtracting one day.
