In a parking arrangement, the \(r\)th row has \(5r\) vehicles. How many vehicles are there in 42 rows?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4515

The number of vehicles in row r is \(5r\). Therefore, for 42 rows, the total is \(5(1+2+\cdots+42)=5S_{42}\). Apply the formula \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}2\): \(S_{42}=\frac{42\cdot43}{2}=21\cdot43=903\). Multiplying by the common factor 5 gives \(5\cdot903=4515\). Hence option C is correct. The factor 5 applies to every row, not only to the final row, so it can be taken outside the sum. Options A, B, and D are not equal to five times the sum of the first 42 natural numbers and therefore cannot represent the stated arrangement.
