Detailed Solution

Let the amount saved by the man in his first year be Rs.x. By reading the given statement, it can be stated that he saved Rs.(x+100) in the second year. And Rs.(x+200) in the third year. Following this rule, he would have saved Rs.(x+900) in the tenth year.
Therefore, we have the following A.P –
x,x+100,x+200,x+300,x+400,.....,x+900
We will use the formula of A.P –Sn=16500,n=10,d=100
Sn=

\frac{n}{2}

[2a+(n−1)d]
16500=

\frac{10}{2}

[2x+(10−1)100]
16500=5[2x+900]
16500=10x+4500
10x=12000
x=1200
Hence he saves Rs. 1200 in first year.
Hence, The correct answer is option (1).
