SAVE P in the first year.
Then, the given SEQUENCE is P + (P + 2000) + (P + 4000) + ..,
which is an AP with a = P , d = (P + 2000) - P = 2000,
n = 10, Sn = 145000

Sn = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]
145000 = 10/2 [2 x P + 9 x 2000] = 5 [2P + 18000]
2P + 18000 = 145000/5 = 29000
2P = 29000 - 18000
2P = 11000
P = 5500
So, the man save 5500 in the first year .

Let the man first SAVE P in the first year.
Then, the given SEQUENCE is P + (P + 2000) + (P + 4000) + ..,
which is an AP with a = P , d = (P + 2000) - P = 2000,
n = 10, Sn = 145000

Sn = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]
145000 = 10/2 [2 x P + 9 x 2000] = 5 [2P + 18000]
2P + 18000 = 145000/5 = 29000
2P = 29000 - 18000
2P = 11000
P = 5500
So, the man save 5500 in the first year .
