Given:

Subba Rao started work in 1995 at an annual salary of Rs. 5000 and received an increment of Rs. 200 each year.

To do:

We have to find the year in which his income reached Rs. 7000.

Solution:

Let initial income $a = Rs.\ 5000$

Increment $d = Rs.\ 200$

Final income $a_n = Rs.\ 7000$

Therefore,

$a + (n - 1) d = 7000$

$5000 + (n - 1) 200 = 7000$

$(n - 1) 200 = 7000 - 5000$

$(n - 1) 200 = 2000$

$(n- 1) = 10$

$n = 11$

$1995 + 11 = 2006$

Hence, Subba Rao’s income will reach Rs. 7000 in 2006.
