Tanvy joined her job in a company in the year 2015 on a monthly salary of Rs. 40000 with an annual increment of Rs. 2500. In which year will she get Rs. 65000 as monthly salary?

Answer» Monthly salary received by Tanvy in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018,… is respectively Rs. 40000, Rs. 42500, Rs. 45000, Rs. 47500, ….
This is an AP with a = 40000, d = 2500 and l = 65000.
Let the number of terms of this AP be n. Then,
`T_(n) = 65000 rArr a + (n-1) d = 65000`
`rArr 40000 + (n-1) xx 2500 = 65000`
`rArr (n-1) xx 2500 = 65000 - 40000 = 25000`
`rArr (n-1) = (25000)/(2500) = 10 rArr n = 11.`
Thus, the 11th annual salary received by Tanvy will be Rs. 65000. Thus, after 10 years, i.e., in the year 2025, her annual salary will be Rs. 65000.
