Bob trains for even number of hours for 7 days and then he continues at 14 hours a day.
Sum of first n even numbers is expressed as \(n*(n+1)\). Sum of hours from day 1 to day 7=\(7*(7+1)=56\) hours.
Sum of hours from 8 to 10 =\(14*3=28\) hours.
Total hours from day 1 to day 10=\(56+42=98\) hours.
Excluding 1st and 10th day, total sum of hours =\(98-(2+14)=82\) hours.
That is our answer.
IMO, Option B.

If you read the question carefully, it says that the training on 1st April is inclusive. Hence, we will have to include the 2 hours from there as well. And the total would come up to 84 hours. Therefore, the answer should be C.
