In the sequence (1, 4, 9, 16, …), what will be the value of a_11 + a_12?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 265

The governing concept is recognizing the square-number sequence. The terms are 1², 2², 3², 4², and so on, so the general rule is a_n = n². Consequently, a_11 = 11² = 121 and a_12 = 12² = 144. Adding the two requested values gives a_11 + a_12 = 121 + 144 = 265. Therefore option C is correct. It is important to calculate the two indexed terms separately; the expression does not mean the 23rd term. The distractors can result from using an incorrect index, squaring only one number, or making an addition error. A useful check is that 121 + 144 is 265, which lies between the neighboring possible values and follows directly from the square-number rule.
