In a daily wage plan (600) rupees are earned on the first day and (80) rupees more each next day. What is the total wage in (15) days?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (17400)

The direct answer is option C: 17,400 rupees. The daily wages form an arithmetic progression because the increase is the same each day. Here first term is a = 600, common difference is d = 80, and number of days is n = 15. Use the sum formula \\(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\\). Thus \\(S_{15}=\frac{15}{2}[2(600)+14(80)]\\ =\frac{15}{2}[1200+1120]\\ =\frac{15}{2}\times2320=15\times1160=17400\\). Option A, 16,800, is too small and does not result from the correct sum. Option B, 17,100, also comes from an incorrect calculation. Option C matches the formula. Option D, 17,700, is too large and reflects another arithmetic error. The last wage is 600 + 14(80) = 1,720, which also confirms that the average wage is (600 + 1,720)/2 = 1,160 and total is 15 × 1,160 = 17,400. Memory cue: constant increase means AP; use first plus last, divided by two, multiplied by the number of terms.
