In a school laboratory (9) instruments are placed on the first day and (4) more instruments are placed each next day. On which day will (57) instruments be placed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 13

This forms an arithmetic progression with first term 9 and common difference 4. The number of instruments on the nth day is 9 + (n - 1) × 4. Setting it equal to 57 gives 9 + (n - 1) × 4 = 57, so 4(n - 1) = 48, n - 1 = 12, and n = 13. Therefore, 57 instruments will be placed on the 13th day. On the 12th day, there would be only 53 instruments. Exam tip: in AP word problems, first identify the first term and common difference, then use the nth-term formula.
