Solution
Given that fixed increment in the salary of a man
= Rs. 320 each month
Initial salary = Rs. 5200 which makes an A.P.
whose first term (a) = Rs. 5200 and common difference (d) = Rs. 320
Total earning during the first year (12 months)
S12 = `12/2 [2 xx 5200 + (12 - 1) xx 320]` .....`[because "S"_n = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)"d"]]`
= 6[10400 + 3520]
= 6 × 13920
= Rs. 83520
Hence, the required amount is Rs. 83520
