**Case Study :** Your elder brother wants to buy a car and plans to take a loan from a bank for his car. He repays his total loan of ₹ 1,18,000 by paying every month, starting with the first instalment of ₹ 1,000 and he increases the instalment by ₹ 100 every month.
Based on the information given above, answer the following questions :
**(i)** Find the amount paid by him in the 30$^{\text{th}}$ instalment. *(1 mark)*
**(ii)** If the total number of instalments is 40, what is the amount paid in the last instalment ? *(1 mark)*
**(iii) (a)** What amount does he still have to pay after the 30$^{\text{th}}$ instalment ? *(2 marks)*
**OR**
**(iii) (b)** Find the ratio of the tenth instalment to the last instalment. *(2 marks)*
✅ Answer & Solution
**Setting up :** The instalments form an A.P.
$$a = 1000, \qquad d = 100$$
---
### (i) Amount paid in the 30th instalment
**Step 1 — Use $a_n = a + (n-1)d$ with $n = 30$.**
$$a_{30} = 1000 + (30-1)(100) = 1000 + 29 \times 100$$
