In a school, 35 plants were planted in the first week and 8 more plants were planted each following week. How many plants will be planted in 16 weeks?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1520

The governing concept is the sum of an arithmetic progression. The weekly numbers form an AP with first term a = 35, common difference d = 8, and number of terms n = 16. Use S_n = n/2[2a + (n−1)d]. Thus S_16 = 16/2[2(35) + 15(8)] = 8[70 + 120] = 8 × 190 = 1520. Therefore option B is correct. A common mistake is to calculate only the 16th week, which would be a_16 = 35 + 15(8) = 155, rather than the total for all 16 weeks. The other options do not satisfy the required sum formula and likely reflect an incorrect number of increases or an arithmetic error.
