Solution

First year the person income is : 300,000

Second year his income will be : 300,000 + 10,000=310,000

This way he receives the amount after 20 years will be:

300,000 + 310,000 + .... + 490,000

This is an A.P with first term a = 300000 and common difference d = 10,000

Therefore

S=202[2.(300000)+(201)10000]

= 10[600000 + 190000]

=7900000
