A cyclist covers (12) km in the first hour and (2) km more each next hour. What is the total distance in (6) hours?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 102 km

The distances covered each hour form an AP: \(12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22\). Here, \(a=12\), \(d=2\), and \(n=6\). Thus, \(S_6=\frac{6}{2}[2(12)+(6-1)\times2]=3(34)=102\) km. Therefore, 102 km is correct. The value 104 km can result from incorrectly finding the last term or the number of terms. Exam tip: In an AP word problem, identify \(a\), \(d\), and \(n\) before applying the formula for \(S_n\).
