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.
