In a class the first group has (8) students and each next group has (4) more students. How many students are there in (7) groups?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 140

The numbers of students form an arithmetic progression: \(8, 12, 16, \ldots\), where \(a=8\), \(d=4\), and \(n=7\). Using \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\), we get \(S_7=\frac{7}{2}[2(8)+6(4)]=\frac{7}{2}(40)=140\). Therefore, the correct answer is 140. The option 144 may result from adding the terms incorrectly. Exam tip: identify \(a\), \(d\), and \(n\) before applying the AP sum formula.
