In a certain quiz that consists of 10 questions, each question after the first is worth 4 points more than the preceding question. if the 10 questions on the quiz are worth a total of 360 points, how many points is the third question worth?
a. 18
b. 24
c. 26
d. 32
e. 44

 The correct option is

(C) 26.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that in a certain quiz that consists of  10 questions, each question after the first is worth 4 points more than the preceding question.

All  the 10 questions on the quiz are worth a total of 360 points.

We are to find the worth of the third question in points.

Since each question after the first is worth 4 points more than the preceding question, so this will make an arithmetic sequence with

first term a, common difference, d = 4  and number of terms, n = 10.

We know that, in an A.P. with first term a and common difference d,

According to the given information,

Therefore, the third term of the sequence is

Thus, the third question worth 26 points.

Option (C) is CORRECT.

175
