Problem

The 5th deposit in a savings plan is ₹600 and the 15th deposit is ₹1000. Which pair of linear equations in the first deposit ₹a and the common difference ₹d correctly represents this situation? (a) a+5d=600,  a+15d=1000a+5d = 600,\; a+15d = 1000 (b) a+4d=600,  a+14d=1000a+4d = 600,\; a+14d = 1000 (c) a+4d=600,  a+10d=1000a+4d = 600,\; a+10d = 1000 (d) a+5d=600,  a+14d=1000a+5d = 600,\; a+14d = 1000
