A student reads (40) pages in the first month and (20) pages more each next month. In which month will the student read (300) pages?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 14

This is an arithmetic progression with first term 40 and common difference 20. The number of pages read in the nth month is \(a_n=40+(n-1)\times20\). For 300 pages, \(40+(n-1)\times20=300\). Thus, \((n-1)\times20=260\), so \(n-1=13\) and \(n=14\). Therefore, the student will read 300 pages in the 14th month. In the 13th month, the student would read only 280 pages. Exam tip: use the nth-term formula here, not the formula for the sum of terms.
