Driving Through the Country
I decided to drive through the country leisurely. On the first day I did only 7 miles. On the last day I did 51 miles increasing my journey 4 miles each day. How many days did I travel and how far?
Answer
Actually this can be done by Arithmetic Progression taking the first term as 7 and the difference as 4. We use the formulaSn = (a+l)n/2
where n=12, a=7 and l=51
Also last term is given as 51. 348 miles in 12 days
