Solution

Amount invested by Sharvari in the month of February 2010 are as follows:

2, 4, 6,...

The above sequence is an A.P.

∴ a = 2, d = 4 – 2 = 2

Number of days in February 2010,

n = 28

Now, `S_n = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d]`

∴ `S_28 = 28/2 [2(2) + (28 - 1)(2)]`

= 14[4 + 27(2)]

= 14(4 + 54)

= 14(58)

= 812

∴ Total savings of Sharvari in the month of February 2010 is ₹ 812.
