In a festival decoration the first gate has (28) lights and each next gate has (7) more lights. How many lights are there on (9) gates?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (504)

Direct answer: Option A, 504 lights. The numbers form an arithmetic progression because every gate has 7 more lights than the previous gate. Here a=28, d=7, and n=9. First find the ninth term: \\(a_9=a+(n-1)d=28+8(7)=84\\). Then use the sum formula: \\(S_9=\\frac n2(a+a_9)=\\frac92(28+84)=\\frac92(112)=504\\). Option A is correct. Option B, 512, is too large and does not result from the formula. Option C, 520, is also not the calculated total. Option D, 528, is another incorrect total; it may come from adding terms incorrectly. The key is to add all nine gate counts, not multiply the last count by nine. Memory cue: AP sum = number of terms × average of first and last.
