Resham wanted to save at least 76500 for sending her daughter to school next year (after 12 months). She saved ₹450 in the first month and raised her savings by ₹20 every next month. How much will she be able to save in next 12 months? Will she be able to send her daughter to the school next year?



Answer -

Given : Resham saved₹450 in the first month and raised her saving by ₹20 every month and saved innext 12 months.
First term (a) = 450
Common difference (d) = 20
and No. of terms (n) = 12
We know sum of n terms is in A.P.
Sn = (
n/2) [2a + (n – 1) d]
Sn = (
12/2) [2x 450 + (12 – 1) x 20]
=> Sn = 6[900 + 240]
=> Sn = 6720
Here we can see that Resham saved ₹ 6720 which is more than ₹ 6500.
So, yes Resham shall be able to send her daughter to school.
