A newspaper seller sells (90) newspapers on the first day and (10) more newspapers each next day. On which day will (230) newspapers be sold?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 15

Here, the first term is 90 and the common difference is 10. Therefore, the number of newspapers sold on the nth day is
\(a_n=90+(n-1)\times10\). Putting
\(90+(n-1)\times10=230\) gives
\(n-1=14\), so
\(n=15\). Day 14 is a close distractor, but only 220 newspapers would be sold that day. Exam tip: equate the target value to the nth-term formula of the AP and solve for n.
