The incomes of Subba Rao increases every year by Rs. 200 and hence, forms an AP.
Therefore, after 1995, the salaries of each year are;
5000, 5200, 5400, …
Here, first term, a = 5000
and common difference, d = 200
Let after nth year, his salary be Rs 7000.
Therefore, by the nth term formula of AP,
an = a+(n-1) d
7000 = 5000+(n-1)200
200(n-1)= 2000
(n-1) = 10
n = 11
Therefore, in 11th year, his salary will be Rs 7000.
