If a₁ = 11, d = 8, and a₍₃ₙ₊₄₎ = 275, what is n?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10

The governing formula is a_m = a₁ + (m − 1)d for an arithmetic progression. Here m = 3n + 4, so the multiplier of d is (3n + 4) − 1 = 3n + 3, not 3n + 4. Substitute the values: 275 = 11 + (3n + 3) × 8 = 11 + 24n + 24 = 24n + 35. Hence 24n = 240 and n = 10. Therefore option B is correct. A direct check confirms the result: n = 10 gives m = 3(10) + 4 = 34, and a₃₄ = 11 + (34 − 1) × 8 = 11 + 264 = 275. The other options produce different indices and fail the original equation. Forgetting the minus one is the most likely source of an incorrect answer.
