In the first (16) days, a student reads (1), (2), (3) pages respectively each day. How many pages will be read in total?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (136)

The daily readings form the natural-number sequence 1, 2, 3, ..., 16. Therefore the total is the sum of the first 16 natural numbers, not the product of the number of days and a constant daily amount. Use \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). With n=16, \(S_{16}=\frac{16\times17}{2}=8\times17=136\) pages.

Thus option C is correct. Another way to check is to pair the first and last readings: 1+16=17, 2+15=17, and so on. There are 8 such pairs, giving \(8\times17=136\). The sequence increases by one page each day, so answers such as 126 or 144 do not match the required arithmetic-series total. The supplied answer and explanation are accurate.
