The first row of an auditorium has (10) seats and each next row has (2) more seats. How many seats are there in (15) rows?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (360)

The direct answer is C: 360 seats. The rows form an arithmetic progression because each row has a fixed increase of 2 seats. Here, first term is an actual number of seats, so use a = 10, common difference d = 2, and number of rows n = 15. The last row is a + (n-1)d = 10 + 14×2 = 38. The total is S_n = n/2[2a + (n-1)d] = 15/2[20 + 28] = 15/2×48 = 360. Option A, 340, is too small; it can result from an incorrect addition or from using the wrong last term. Option B, 350, is also an arithmetic error. Option C matches the formula and calculation. Option D, 370, is too large. Exam cue: for total rows use the sum formula, not only the last-term formula.
