A factory produces 120, 135, 150, ... items per day. What is the total production in 10 days?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1875

The governing concept is applying the AP sum formula to a real-life sequence. Daily production increases by a constant amount: d = 135 − 120 = 15, so the first term is a = 120 and the number of terms is n = 10. Using S_n = n/2[2a + (n − 1)d], we obtain S_10 = 10/2[2(120) + 9(15)] = 5[240 + 135] = 5 × 375 = 1875 items. Thus option A is correct. Equivalently, the tenth-day production is 120 + 9 × 15 = 255, and the average daily production is (120 + 255)/2 = 187.5; multiplying by 10 gives 1875. Simply multiplying the first or last daily value by ten would ignore the changing production.
