On a road, the distance from the first pole to the second pole is (5) metres and each next distance increases by (5) metres. What is the total distance of the first (8) gaps?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 180 m

The gaps form an AP: \(5,10,15,\ldots\), where \(a=5\), \(d=5\), and \(n=8\). Therefore, \(S_8=\frac{8}{2}[2(5)+(8-1)5]=4(45)=180\) m. Hence, 180 m is correct. Choosing 170 m results from not including the eighth gap correctly. Exam tip: In AP word problems, identify the first term, common difference, and number of terms before applying \(S_n\).
