Solution
Given that,
Jaspal singh takes total loan = Rs. 118000
He repays his total loan by paying every month
His first instalment = Rs. 1000
Second instalment = 1000 + 100 = Rs. 1100
Third instalment = 1100 + 100 = Rs. 1200 and so on
Let its 30th instalment be n,
Thus, we have 1000, 1100, 1200,... which form an AP, with first term (a) = 1000
And common difference (d) = 1100 – 1000 = 100
nth term of an AP, Tn = a + (n – 1)d
For 30th instalment,
T30 = 1000 + (30 – 1)100
= 1000 + 29 × 100
= 1000 + 2900
= 3900
So, ₹ 3900 will be paid by him in the 30th instalment.
He paid total amount upto 30 instalments in the following form
1000 + 1100 + 1200 + ... + 3900
First term (a) = 1000 and last term (l) = 3900
∴ Sum of 30 instalments,
S30 = `30/2 [a + l]` ...[∵ Sum of first n terms of an AP is, `S_n = n/2 [a + l]` where l = last term]
⇒ S30 = 15(1000 + 3900)
= 15 × 4900
= Rs. 73500
⇒ Total amount he still have to pay after the 30th installment
= (Amount of loan) – (Sum of 30 installments)
= 118000 – 73500
= Rs. 44500
Hence, Rs. 44500 still have to pay after the 30th installment.
