Push-ups are a fast and effective exercise for building strength. These are helpful in almost all sports
including athletics. While the push-up primarily targets the muscles of the chest, arms, and shoulders,
support required from other muscles helps in toning up the whole body. Nitesh wants to participate
in the push-up challenge. He can currently make 3000 push-ups in one hour. But he wants to achieve
a target of 3900 push-ups in 1 hour for which he practices regularly. With each day of practice, he is
able to make 5 more push-ups in one hour as compared to the previous day. If on first day of practice
he makes 3000 push-ups and continues to practice regularly till his target is achieved.
Keeping the above situation in mind answer the following questions:
i) Form an A.P representing the number of push-ups per day and hence find the minimum
number of days he needs to practice before the day his goal is accomplished?
ii) Find the total number of push-ups performed by Nitesh up to the day his goal is achieved.
