On a stage, row 1 has 3 lamps, row 2 has 6 lamps, and row 30 has 90 lamps. If row r has 3r lamps, how many lamps are there in total?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1395

Row r contains 3r lamps, so the total for rows 1 through 30 is 3(1 + 2 + ⋯ + 30), or simply 3S₃₀. Using the first-n sum formula, S₃₀ = 30 × 31/2 = 15 × 31 = 465. Therefore the total number of lamps is 3 × 465 = 1395, so option A is correct. The factor 3 is common to every row and can be taken outside the summation. It should not be added as an extra row or applied only to the last row. The other options may result from calculating S₃₀ incorrectly, mishandling the multiplier, or making an arithmetic error after finding the sum.
