Question

Roxy is reading a novel. She reads 4 pages on the first day, 8 pages on the second day, and 12 pages on the third day. If this pattern continues, then how many pages does she read on the eighth day?

• A. 10
• B. 16
• C. 12
• D. 32

Answer 1

The correct option is D 32

Let us look at the pattern made by the number of the pages read by Roxy.

Pattern:
4, 8, 12, ...

Each successive number in the pattern is got by adding 4 to the previous number.


$\therefore$ Number of pages read on the eighth day
= 4 + Number of pages read on the seventh day
= 4 + 28
= 32

Thus, Roxy reads 32 pages on the eighth day.
