उत्तर
Let her pocket money be ₹ x
Now, she puts 11 on day 1, ₹ 2 on day 2, ₹ 3 on day 3 and so on till the end of the month, from this money into her piggy bank.
i.e., 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + 31
Which form an AP in which terms are 31 and first term (a) = 1,
Common difference (d) = 2 – 1 = 1
∴ Sum of first 31 terms is S31
Sum of n terms,
Sn = `n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]`
∴ S31 = `31/2[2 xx 1 + (31 - 1) xx 1]`
= `31/2(2 + 30)`
= `(31 xx 32)/2`
= 31 × 16
= 496
So, Kanika takes ₹ 496 till the end of the month from this money.
Also, she spent ₹ 204 of her pocket money and found that at the end of the month she still has ₹ 100 with her.
Now, according to the condition,
(x – 496) – 204 = 100
⇒ x – 700 = 100
∴ x = ₹ 800
Hence, ₹ 800 was her pocket money for the month.
