Question 37 [Case Based] The school auditorium was to be constructed to accommodate at least 1500 people. The chairs are to be placed in concentric circular arrangement in such a way that each succeeding circular row has 10 seats more than the previous one. Question 37 (i) If the first circular row has 30 seats, how many seats will be there in the 10th row? Given that
First row has 30 seats, and each succeeding row has 10 seats more than the previous one
So, this is an AP with
First term = a = 30
Common difference = d = 10
We need to find how many seats will be there in the 10th row i.e. We need to find a10
We know that
an = a + (n − 1)d
Putting n = 10, a = 30, d = 1-
a10 = 30 + (10 − 1) × 10
= 30 + 9 × 10
= 30 + 90
= 120
Thus, there are 120 seats in the 10th row
