Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of seats will be in the following order-
20, 22, 24,.........
It clearly forms an arithmetic sequence.
From the question, you have
a= 20 (first term), d= 2 (common difference)
n=21 (asked) , t(21)=?
The formula of general term is
tn = a+(n-1)d
t(21) = 20+(21-1)2
= 20+ (20)2
= 20+40
= 60

t21 = 20+(21-1)2
= 20+ (20)2
= 20+40
= 60.
