उत्तर
Let Rs. x be saved in first year
Annual increment = Rs. 200
Which forms an A.P.
First term = a and common difference d = 200
n = 20 years
∴ Sn = `n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]`
⇒ S20 = `20/2 [2a + (20 - 1) 200]`
⇒ 66000 = 10[2a + 3800]
⇒ 6600 = 2a + 3800
⇒ 2a = 6600 – 3800
⇒ 2a = 2800
⇒ a = 1400
Hence, the man saved Rs. 1400 in the first year.
