In a saving plan, 1 rupee is saved in the 1st week and 49 rupees in the 49th week. If the amount increases by 1 rupee each week, what is the total saving?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1225

The weekly amounts are 1, 2, 3, …, 49 because the saving starts at 1 rupee and increases by exactly 1 rupee each week. Thus the total is the sum of the first 49 natural numbers. Using Sₙ = n(n + 1)/2, we get S₄₉ = 49 × 50/2 = 49 × 25 = 1225 rupees. Therefore option B is correct. The arithmetic-progression form gives the same result: there are 49 terms, the first is 1 and the last is 49, so total = 49(1 + 49)/2 = 1225. Options A, C, and D result from miscounting weeks or applying the wrong average.
