उत्तर
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
We know that, sum of first n terms = Sn = \[\frac{n}{2}\][2a + (n − 1)d]
According to the question,
Saving of Ramkali in 1 year = ₹50 + ₹70 + ₹90.......
Here, a = 50, d = 70 − 50 = 20 and n = 12.
∴ S12 = \[\frac{12}{2}\][2 × 50 + (12 − 1)20]
= 6[100 + 220]
= 6 × 320
= 1920
Hence, After a year, she will save ₹1920.
Since, required amount for admission is ₹1800 and her savings will be ₹1920.
Thus, yes she will be able to fulfil her dream of sending her daughter to school.

Find the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4.
Activity: Natural numbers between 1 to 140 divisible by 4 are, 4, 8, 12, 16,......, 136
Here d = 4, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 4, d = 4, tn = 136, Sn = ?
tn = a + (n – 1)d
`square` = 4 + (n – 1) × 4
`square` = (n – 1) × 4
n = `square`
Now,
Sn = `"n"/2["a" + "t"_"n"]`
Sn = 17 × `square`
Sn = `square`
Therefore, the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4 is `square`.
