Given that Resham has saved in following sequence in a year (every month record): 450, 470, 490,. . . .

This sequence is an A.P. with first term(a) = 450 and common difference(d) = 20.

Now by using the formula of the sum of n terms of an A.P.

Sn = n[2a +(n – 1)d] / 2

So,

Now, sum of the savings after 12 months would be S12 as value of n in this case is 12.

S12 = 12[2(450) + (12 – 1)20] / 2

= 6[900 + 220]

= 6[1120]

= 6720

So, Resham would save Rs 6720 by the end of 12 months which is greater than Rs 6500,

she would be able to send her daughter to the school next year.
