Answer» Let the first term/instalment = Rsa. Let the common difference between successive instalment = Rsd Istcase:A man pays off a debt of Rs 3600 in 40 annual instalments ∴n= 40 and Sn= S40= Rs 3600Sn=n/2(2a+(n-1)d)S40=40/2(2a+39d)3600=20(2a+39d)2a+39d=180...(1)IIndcase:Man dies, leaving one-third of the debt unpaid. Now debt unpaid1/3*3600=1200∴ Debt paid by Man in 30 instalments = Total debt paid – Debt unpaid = 3600 – 1200 = Rs 2400 Heren= 30 and Sn= S30= 2400 S30=30/2(2a+29d)160=2a+29d2a+28d=60 Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get (2a+ 39d) – (2a+ 29d) = 180 – 160 ⇒39d– 29d= 20 ⇒10d= 20 ⇒d= 2 Putting value ofdin (1), we get 2a+ 39d= 180 ⇒2a+ 39 × 2 = 180 ⇒2a= 180 – 78 2a= 102 ⇒a= 51 Rs Therefore, the first instalment paid by man = Rs 51 Th Thanks take weights of five ofyour friends. find out what their weights will be on the moon and the mars. |
