A student solves (55) questions on the first day and (12) more questions each day. On which day will he solve (367) questions?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 27th day

The number of questions solved each day forms an AP with first term \(a=55\) and common difference \(d=12\). The number solved on the \(n\)th day is \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Thus, \(367=55+(n-1)\times12\), giving \(312=12(n-1)\), so \(n-1=26\) and \(n=27\). Therefore, the student will solve 367 questions on the 27th day. The closest distractor, the 26th day, would give only \(355\) questions. Exam tip: Since the question asks for one day's count, use \(a_n\), not the sum formula \(S_n\).
