Sum of 30 installments=6240

n=30. d=10. S=6240

S=n/2{2a+(n-1)d}

6240=15{2a+14d}

a+7d=6240/30

a+7d=208

a+70=208

a=138

Hence, the first installment is RS.138

Let each installment be x rupees
Installments are in a. P. So,
6240=30/2(2x + 290)
==>2x + 290=6240/15
=>2x =416-290
=>2x=126
=>x=63
So first installment is rupees 63.hope this helps
