In a tank (36) litres of water are filled in the first minute and (12) litres more each next minute. In which minute will (192) litres be filled?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 14th minute

The amount filled each minute forms an AP with first term \(a=36\) and common difference \(d=12\). The amount filled in the \(n\)th minute is \(a_n=36+(n-1)\times12\). Setting this equal to 192 gives \(36+(n-1)\times12=192\), so \((n-1)\times12=156\), \(n-1=13\), and \(n=14\). Hence, 192 litres are filled in the 14th minute. In the 13th minute, the amount would be only 180 litres. Exam tip: when the question asks for the amount in a particular minute, use the \(n\)th-term formula, not the sum formula.
