A reservoir has (1000) litres of water on the first day and (50) litres less each day. How much water remains on the (8)th day?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 650 litres

The water amounts form a decreasing arithmetic progression, with first term \(a=1000\) and common difference \(d=-50\). On the eighth day, \(a_8=a+(8-1)d=1000+7(-50)=650\) litres. Choosing \(600\) litres would subtract 50 eight times, but the given amount is already for day 1. Exam tip: use \(a+(n-1)d\) for the \(n\)th term.
