In the arithmetic progression (6,14,22,\ldots), the sum of how many first terms will be (930)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (15)

Direct answer: option C, 15 terms. The AP is 6,14,22,..., so a=6 and d=8. Its sum is S_n=n/2[2a+(n-1)d]=n/2[12+8(n-1)]. Simplify the bracket: 12+8n-8=8n+4, so S_n=n(4n+2)=4n^2+2n. Set this equal to 930: 4n^2+2n=930, hence 2n^2+n-465=0. Testing the answer choices is quick: for n=15, S15=15/2[12+8×14]=15/2×124=15×62=930. Thus option C is correct. Option A, 13, gives 4(169)+26=702. Option B, 14, gives 4(196)+28=812. Option D, 16, gives 4(256)+32=1056. Therefore only 15 produces 930. Do not confuse the common difference 8 with the first term or omit the n-1 factor.
