For 1st 3 months, amount = 600 Rs.
For the 4th month, amount saved is 240 Rs.
And then the saved amount increases by 40 every month
So, they form an A.P. with first term a=240 and common difference d=40
We know that, sum of n first n terms of an A.P. is
S subscript n equals n over 2 open parentheses 2 a plus left parenthesis n minus 1 right parenthesis d close parentheses
S u b t r a c t i n g space 600 space f r o m space t o t a l space a m o u n t space g i v e s space 10440 space R s.
rightwards double arrow 10440 equals n over 2 open parentheses 480 plus left parenthesis n minus 1 right parenthesis 40 close parentheses
rightwards double arrow n squared plus 11 n minus 522 equals 0
rightwards double arrow left parenthesis n plus 29 right parenthesis left parenthesis n minus 18 right parenthesis equals 0
rightwards double arrow n equals negative 29 space o r space 18
N o. space o f space m o n t h s space c a n apostrophe t space b e space n e g a t i v e comma space t h e r e f o r e space n equals 18
H e n c e comma space a space m a n space s a v e s space R s. space 11040 space a f t e r space 18 plus 3 equals 21 space m o n t h s.
