Question

Lakhan ate 72 bananas in six days, each day eating 4 more than the previous day. How many bananas did he eat on the second day?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

here we form an a.p.

let lakhan ate x bananas at first day

then according to question

x , x+4 , (x+4)+4 ...........

here first term a= x

d(common difference)=4

a6 = 72

n= 6

an= a+(n-1)d

72=x+(7-1)4

72=x+ 6×4

72-24=x

48=x

so on second day he eat

x+4=48+4 =52 bananas
