In a sports club (12) members join on the first day and (4) more members join each next day. How many members join in (8) days?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 208

The number of members joining each day forms an AP: 12, 16, 20, ... . Here, a = 12, d = 4, and n = 8. Therefore, S_8 = \(\frac{8}{2}[2(12)+(8-1)4]\) = \(4(24+28)\) = 208. Hence, 208 is correct. Choosing 200 usually results from not accounting correctly for the last term or the number of terms. Exam tip: For total-sum questions, first identify a, d, and n, then apply the \(S_n\) formula.
