| Difficulty | Moderate -0.8 This is a straightforward arithmetic progression problem requiring standard formulas (nth term and sum). Students need to set up two equations from given information and solve simultaneously, then substitute to find the required term. The algebra is routine with no conceptual challenges, making it easier than average but not trivial due to the multi-step nature. |
| Spec | 1.04h Arithmetic sequences: nth term and sum formulae |
The 11th term of an arithmetic progression is 1. The sum of the first 10 terms is 120. Find the 4th term. [5]
