  1. the common difference(d) = 100 and sum of savings done in 10 years(S10) = 16500

     

    We have to find the savings in first year, i.e., first term(a).

     

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

     

    Sn = n[2a +(n – 1)d] / 2

     

    So,

     

    => S10 = 16500

     

    => 10[2a + (10 – 1)100] / 2 = 16500

     

    => 5[2a + 900] = 16500

     

    => 10a = 16500 – 4500

     

    => 10a = 12000

     

    => a = 1200

     

    Hence, value of savings in first year is 1200.
