The correct Answer is:
To find the total amount saved by Daya in 30 days, we can observe that the amounts he saves each day form an arithmetic progression (AP). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first term (A) and common difference (D):** - The amount saved on the first day is Rs 2.75 (A = 2.75). - The amount saved on the second day is Rs 3.00. - The common difference (D) can be calculated as: \[ D = 3.00 - 2.75 = 0.25 \] 2. **Determine the number of terms (N):** - The total number of days is 30, so \( N = 30 \). 3. **Use the formula for the sum of the first N terms of an AP:** - The formula for the sum \( S_N \) of the first N terms of an arithmetic progression is: \[ S_N = \frac{N}{2} \times (2A + (N - 1)D) \] 4. **Substitute the values into the formula:** - Substitute \( N = 30 \), \( A = 2.75 \), and \( D = 0.25 \): \[ S_{30} = \frac{30}{2} \times \left(2 \times 2.75 + (30 - 1) \times 0.25\right) \] 5. **Calculate the components:** - Calculate \( \frac{30}{2} = 15 \). - Calculate \( 2 \times 2.75 = 5.5 \). - Calculate \( 30 - 1 = 29 \) and then \( 29 \times 0.25 = 7.25 \). 6. **Combine the results:** - Now, substitute back: \[ S_{30} = 15 \times (5.5 + 7.25) \] - Calculate \( 5.5 + 7.25 = 12.75 \). 7. **Final multiplication:** - Now, calculate: \[ S_{30} = 15 \times 12.75 = 191.25 \] 8. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the total amount saved by Daya in 30 days is Rs 191.25.
