  1. Given that Ramkali has saved in following sequence in a year(every month record): 50, 70, 90,. . . .

     

    First term(a) = 50 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 1 year(12 months) would be S12 as value of n in this case is 12.

     

    S12 = 12[2(50) + (12 – 1)20] / 2

     

    = 6[100 + 220]

     

    = 6[320]

     

    = 1920

     

    Hence, Resham would save Rs 1920 by the end of 1 year(12 months) which is

     

    greater than Rs 1800, she would be able to fulfill her dream of sending her daughter to school.
