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
