Question:
A man starts repaying a loan as first instalment of Rs 100 = 00. If he increases the instalments by Rs 5 every month, what amount he will pay in the 30th instalment?
Solution:
Let $a_{30}$ be the amount a man repays in the 30 th instalment.
Let d be the common increment in his instalment every month.
Let a be the initial repayment.
Here, a = 100, d = 5, n = 30
Amount to be repaid in the 30th instalment:
$a_{30} \Rightarrow a+(n-1) d$
$=100+29 \times 5$
$=245$
Hence, the man repays Rs 245 in his 30th instalment.
