    (a) 8n + 8

    (b) 136

    Step-by-step explanation:

    No. of seats in first row = 16

    No. of seats in second row = 24

    no. of seats in third row = 32

    Total number of rows = 50

    It forms an arithmetic progression

    First term = a = 16

    common difference, d = 8

    Number of terms, n = 50

    (A) The formula for the n th term of an arithmetic progression is given by

    Tn = a + (n - 1) d

    Tn = 16 + (n-1) 8

    Tn = 16 + 8n - 8

    Tn = 8n + 8

    (B) Now, n = 16

    The number of seats in 16 th row is given by

    T (16) = 8 x 16 + 8

    T (16) = 136 seats

    A (n) = 16 + 8 (n - 1)

    A (16) = 16 + 8 (16 - 1)

    A (16) = 16 + 120

    A (16) = 136 people
