A student solves 42 questions on the first day and 9 more questions each day. On which day will he solve 276 questions?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 27th

The governing concept is an arithmetic progression for a quantity that increases by a fixed amount each day. The first-day number is a=42 and the daily increase is d=9. Since the question asks how many questions are solved on one particular day, use the nth-term formula, not the sum formula: a_n=a+(n−1)d. Set 276=42+(n−1)9. Then 234=9(n−1), so n−1=26 and n=27. Therefore 276 questions are solved on the 27th day, so option C is correct. The sum formula would calculate the total number solved over several days and would answer a different question. The neighboring choices arise from an off-by-one error in counting the first day or the number of increases.
