For 1st Question:

 

As given in problem, A=100, D=-5


Formula is:

Sum of AP = n/2 [2a+(n-1)d], Therefore, 


975 = n/2 [200+(n-1)-5]

1950 = n(200-5n+5)

1950 = 205n-5n^2

5n^2-205n+1950 = 0

n^2-41n+391 = 0

n^2-26n-15n+390 = 0

n(n-26) - 15(n-26) = 0

Hence, n = 15 or 26.

So, n = 15 months.

 

Difference in savings of that man in two consecutive years is 100, which is constant. So, savings of that man are in AP.


As given in problem, n=10, S=16500, d=100

So, Formula is S=n/2 [2a+(n-1)d]

16500 = 10/2 [2a+(10-1)x100]

16500 = 5(2a+900)

2a = 3300-900 = 2400

Therefore, a=1200, which is his 1st year savings.
