This Class 10 Mathematics topic applies Arithmetic Progressions (AP) to real-life word problems. Students learn to identify the first term, common difference, number of terms, and required sum from situations involving regular increases or decreases, such as savings, seating arrangements, wages, distances, and patterns. They practise translating statements into AP terms, selecting suitable formulas, solving step by step, and checking whether the answer fits the original context.

A newspaper seller sells (160) newspapers on the first day and (30) more newspapers each next day. On which day will (610) newspapers be sold?
Correct answer: C
This is an AP with first term \(a=160\) and common difference \(d=30\). Sales on the \(n\)th day are \(a_n=160+(n-1)30\). Setting this equal to 610 gives \(160+(n-1)30=610\), so \((n-1)30=450\), \(n-1=15\), and \(n=16\). Therefore, 610 newspapers will be sold on the 16th day. On the 15th day, the sales would be 580, so that close option is incorrect. Exam tip: for a target value in an AP, equate it to \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\).
