A student saves (50) rupees on the first day and (20) rupees more each next day. What will be the total saving in (18) days?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3960)

The daily savings form an arithmetic progression. The first term is \\(a=50\\), the common difference is \\(d=20\\), and the number of terms is \\(n=18\\). The sum formula is \\(S_n=\\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\\). Substitution gives \\(S_{18}=\\frac{18}{2}[2(50)+17(20)]\\), which is \\(9[100+340]=9\\times440=3960\\) rupees.

The expression correctly includes the saving on the first day and the increase on each of the next 17 days. A common mistake is to multiply the last day's saving by 18, which would not give the sum of all terms. Therefore, option C, 3960 rupees, is correct. The other options result from errors in the number of increases or in adding the progression.
