A student reads (25) pages in the first month and (15) pages more each next month. In which month will the student read (235) pages?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 15

The numbers of pages form an arithmetic progression with first term \(a=25\) and common difference \(d=15\). The number of pages read in the \(n\)th month is \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). So, \(25+(n-1)\times15=235\). This gives \((n-1)\times15=210\), hence \(n-1=14\) and \(n=15\). Therefore, the student reads 235 pages in the 15th month. In the 14th month, the student would read only 220 pages. Exam tip: for a specified term of an AP, use \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\).
