Hi,

Kanika puts the money Rs 1 , Rs 2 , ..

Upto January moth ending .

Total amount from day 1 to 31st is

1+ 2 + 3 + .... + 31

a = 1 , common difference = d = 1

Sn = n /2 [ 2a + (n- 1 ) d ]

S31 = 31 /2 [ 2 × 1 + ( 31 - 1 ) 1 ]

= 31 /2 [ 2 + 30 ]

= ( 31 × 32 ) / 2

= 31 × 16

S31 = 496 ---( 1 )

She spent money = Rs 204-----( 2 )

Money she had = Rs 100 ---------( 3 )

Therefore ,

Kanika pocket money = ( 1 ) + ( 2 ) + ( 3 )

= 496 + 204 + 100

= Rs 800

I hope this helps you.

:)
