In a flower decoration the first layer has (42) flowers and each next layer has (11) more flowers. Which layer will have (207) flowers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 16

The numbers of flowers form an AP with first term \(a=42\) and common difference \(d=11\). The number of flowers in the \(n\)th layer is \(a_n=42+(n-1)\times 11\). Putting \(a_n=207\), \(42+(n-1)\times 11=207\), so \((n-1)\times 11=165\), giving \(n-1=15\) and \(n=16\). Hence, the 16th layer has 207 flowers. The 15th layer would have only \(196\) flowers. Exam tip: when a position or layer is asked, equate the target value to \(a_n\) and solve for \(n\).
