उत्तर
Amount invested by Shubhankar in the national savings certificate scheme is as follows:
500, 700, 900,...
The above sequence is an A.P.
∴ a = 500, d = 700 – 500 = 200, n = 12
Now, `S_n = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d]`
∴ `S_12 = 12/2 [2(500) + (12 - 1)(200)]`
= 6[1000 + 11(200)]
= 6(1000 + 2200)
= 6(3200)
= 19200
∴ The total amount invested by Shubhankar is ₹ 19,200.
