In a flag decoration the first row has 33 flags and the 18th row has 152 flags. If the rows are in an AP then what is the increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7

The governing concept is the nth-term formula of an arithmetic progression. The first row gives a_1 = 33 and the 18th row gives a_18 = 152. For an AP, a_n = a + (n − 1)d, where d is the equal increase. Substituting the known values gives 152 = 33 + (18 − 1)d = 33 + 17d. Therefore, 119 = 17d and d = 7. Hence option C is correct. A quick check confirms it: starting at 33 and adding 7 seventeen times gives 33 + 119 = 152. If the increase were 5, 6, or 8, the 18th-row counts would be 118, 135, or 169, respectively, so those distractors cannot satisfy the data.
