In an exam the first question carries (3) marks and each next question carries (1) mark more. How many marks does the (15)th question carry?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 17

The marks form an arithmetic progression with first term \(a=3\) and common difference \(d=1\). The \(n\)th term is \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Hence, \(a_{15}=3+(15-1)\times1=17\). Therefore, the 15th question carries 17 marks. Choosing 18 would incorrectly add \(15d\); the required gap is \(15-1=14\). Exam tip: in the formula for the \(n\)th term, use \(n-1\), not \(n\).
