If a₁ = 20 and aₙ₊₁ = aₙ + 1, what is a₄?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 23

The governing concept is repeated use of a recursive relation. The condition a₁ = 20 gives the first term, and aₙ₊₁ = aₙ + 1 means that exactly 1 must be added whenever we move from one term to the next. To reach a₄ from a₁, there are three transitions, not four: a₂ = a₁ + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21; a₃ = a₂ + 1 = 21 + 1 = 22; and a₄ = a₃ + 1 = 22 + 1 = 23. Therefore option C is correct. The arithmetic-progression check gives a₄ = a₁ + (4 − 1)d = 20 + 3(1) = 23. Option A is the second term, option B is the third term, and option D results from adding 1 four times instead of the required three transitions.
