a1 , a2 , a3 , . . . , a15 
In the sequence shown, an = an - 1 + k, where ~$2\leq n\leq 15$~ and k is a nonzero constant. How many of the terms in the sequence are greater than 10 ?

(1) a1 = 24
(2) a8 = 10


Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.

Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

考题讲解

根据题目可以知道,这个有限的数列是一个等差数列,且公差k是一个非零常数。问数列中有多少个比10大的数?
条件1:知道首项为24,但不知道公差,如果公差大于零,那么全部15个数都大于零,如果公差小于零,则无法确定这个个数。不充分
条件2:数列的中项a8 = 10,他的前后均有7个数,无论公差k大于零还是小于零,中项两边总有一边是恒大于10的,所以一定有7项大于10。充分
