In a competition (40) participants come on the first day and (10) more participants come each next day. How many participants come in (6) days?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 390

The daily number of participants forms an AP: 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90. Here, the first term is \(a=40\), the common difference is \(d=10\), and the number of terms is \(n=6\). Thus, \(S_6=\frac{6}{2}[2(40)+(6-1)(10)]=3(130)=390\). Therefore, 390 is correct. A result such as 400 can arise from counting the terms or days incorrectly. Exam tip: identify \(a\), \(d\), and \(n\) before applying the formula for \(S_n\).
