In a stepped decoration, the first row has 5 tiles and each successive row has 2 more tiles. There are 10 rows in all. Ravi says that the total number of tiles is 50 because he multiplies 5 by 10. What is the correct total?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 140

The tile counts 5, 7, 9, ... form an AP. Its last term is 23, so \(S_{10}=\frac{10}{2}(5+23)=140\). Ravi ignores the increase in later rows. Exam tip: find the last term before adding an AP.
