The average monthly income for 2008 was 30,000.
Thus yearly income becomes 30,000*12= Rs 3,60,000
Assume income in January 2008 = x
And increment is 1500 every month. Thus february = x+1500
Thus it forms a series x+(x+1500)+(x+3000)+......+(x+11th term of AP) = yearly income
And the AP formed is 1500,3000,......, 11th term. => Solving the AP we get 11th term = 16500
Sum of this AP (with 1st term =1500, 11th term = 16500 and d=1500) = 99000
Thus the yearly income become 12x+99000 which must equal 360000
On solving, x = 21,750
