QUESTION #7660
Question 1
Meher saves Rs 4 in first week, Rs 13 in the second week, and Rs 22 in the third week. In which week will her savings reach Rs 130?
Correct Answer Explanation
This is an arithmetic progression with first term \(a = 4\) and common difference \(d = 13 - 4 = 9\). The nth term is given by \(a_n = a + (n-1)d = 4 + (n-1)9 = 130\). Solving: \(9(n-1) = 126\), so \(n-1 = 14\), giving \(n = 15\). Wait, let me recalculate: \(4 + 9(n-1) = 130\) gives \(9n - 9 = 126\), so \(9n = 135\) and \(n = 15\). Hmm, this doesn't match options either. Actually, checking the pattern: Week 10 would be \(4 + 9(9) = 4 + 81 = 85\), not 130. The answer appears to be beyond the given options.
