Given: First installment is Rs. 100 and he increases it by Rs. 5 every month


To find: Total amount in 30th installment i.e. a30


According to question:


A.P. will be 100, 105,……………………


a = 100 and d = 5


Formula used:


an = a + (n – 1)d


a30 = 100 + (30 – 1)5


a30 = 100 + (29)5


a30 = 100 + 145


a30 = 245


Hence, he will pay Rs. 245 in 30th installment
