In a laboratory 16 instruments are placed on the first day and 1600 instruments are placed in 25 days. If the increase is equal each day then what was the increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4

The governing concept is the sum of the terms of an arithmetic progression. The daily numbers of instruments form an AP with first term a = 16, number of days n = 25, total S_n = 1600, and common difference d. Use S_n = n/2[2a + (n − 1)d]. Thus 1600 = 25/2[2(16) + 24d] = 25/2(32 + 24d). Multiplying by 2 and dividing by 25 gives 128 = 32 + 24d. Hence 24d = 96 and d = 4. Therefore, the number placed increased by four instruments each day, so option C is correct. The other choices would produce different totals when substituted into the same sum formula. This is a sum-based AP problem, not merely an nth-term question.
