Sol.
Cost to dig a well for first metre = Rs.150
Cost to dig a well for first 2 metres = Rs.150+50 = Rs.200
Cost to dig a well for first 3 metres = Rs.200+50 = Rs.250
Cost to dig a well for first 4 metres =Rs.250+50 = Rs.300
Cost to dig …………………………… so. on
Here we can see that 150, 200, 250, 300 … forms an A.P. with a common difference of 50 between them.
