A student reads (70) pages in the first month and (28) pages more each next month. In which month will the student read (434) pages?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 14

This forms an arithmetic progression with first term \(a=70\) and common difference \(d=28\). The number of pages read in the \(n\)th month is \(a_n=70+(n-1)28\). Setting \(70+(n-1)28=434\) gives \((n-1)28=364\), so \(n-1=13\) and \(n=14\). Therefore, the student will read 434 pages in the 14th month. The nearby option 13 is incorrect because the 13th-month reading is \(406\) pages. Exam tip: equate the target value to \(a_n\) and solve for \(n\).
