What is the sum of the first 6 terms of the arithmetic progression (15, 21, 27, 33, ...)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 180

The governing concept is the sum of a finite arithmetic progression. The first term is a = 15 and the common difference is d = 21 − 15 = 6. The first six terms are therefore 15, 21, 27, 33, 39, and 45. Direct addition gives 15 + 21 + 27 + 33 + 39 + 45 = 180. Using the standard formula confirms it: S₆ = 6/2[2(15) + (6 − 1)6] = 3[30 + 30] = 180. Another check is the average of the first and last terms, (15 + 45)/2 = 30, multiplied by six terms: 6 × 30 = 180. Hence option C is correct. The other options reflect an omitted term or an addition error.
