An athlete runs (2) km on the first day and (1) km more each next day. What is the total distance in (10) days?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 65 km

The daily distances form an AP with first term \(a=2\), common difference \(d=1\), and number of terms \(n=10\). Therefore, \(S_{10}=\frac{10}{2}[2(2)+(10-1)(1)]=5(13)=65\) km. Hence, 65 km is correct. A total of 60 km may result from incorrectly taking the distance on the 10th day as 10 km. Exam tip: In AP word problems, identify \(a\), \(d\), and \(n\) before applying the formula for \(S_n\).
