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
Salary for the tenth month
a10 = a + (n – 1)d
= 5200 + (10 – 1) × 320
= 5200 + 2880
= Rs. 8080
Hence, the required amount is Rs. 8080
