Answer 1

The maximum salary reached in 5th month.

What is Arithmetic Progression?

An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant

For the first year, salary  = 1,200,000

For the second year, salary

= 1,200,000 + 75,000 = 1,275,000

For the last year, salary  = 1,500,000

We get the AP as

1,200,000,  1,275,000, .... ,  1,500,000

a= 1,200,000  and d = 75000

Now using

L = a + (n - 1)d

1,500,000 = 1,200,000 + (n-1) 75,000

300,000 = 75,000(n-1)

300000/75000= n-1

4= n-1

n= 5

Hence, in the 5th year the maximum salary will be reached.
