उत्तर
Let the amount saved by the man in the first year be Rs A.
Let d be the common difference.
Let \[S_{10}\] denote the amount he saves in ten years.
Here, n =10, d =100
We know:
\[S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left\{ 2A + \left( n - 1 \right)d \right\}\]
\[ \therefore S_{10} = \frac{10}{2}\left\{ 2A + \left( 10 - 1 \right)100 \right\}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 16500 = 5\left\{ 2A + 900 \right\}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3300 = 2A + 900\]
\[ \Rightarrow A = 1200\]
Therefore, the man saved Rs 1200 in the first year.
