Given: Shamshad Ali buys a scooter for Rs 22000.

Therefore , unpaid amount = 22000-4000=Rs. 18000

According to the given condition, interest paid annually is

10% of 18000,10% of 17000,10% of 16000,......................10% of 1000.

Thus, total interest to be paid

$=10\%of\, 18000+10\%of\, 17000+.............10\%of\, 1000$

$=10\%of\, (18000+ 17000+.............+ 1000)$

$=10\%of\, (1000+ 2000+.............+ 18000)$

Here, $1000, 2000,.............17000,18000$ is a AP with first term =a=1000 and common difference =d = 1000

We know that $a_n=a+(n-1)d$

$\Rightarrow 18000=1000+(n-1)1000$

$\Rightarrow 17000=(n-1)1000$

$\Rightarrow 17=(n-1)$

$\Rightarrow n=17+1=18$

Sum of AP:

$S_1_8=\frac{18}{2}\left [ 2(1000)+(18-1)1000 \right ]$

$=9\left [ 2000+17000 \right ]$

$=9\left [ 19000 \right ]$

$=171000$

Thus, interest to be paid :

$=10\%of\, (1000+ 2000+.............+ 18000)$

$=10\%of\, ( 171000)$

$=Rs. 17100$

Thus, cost of tractor = Rs. 22000+ Rs. 17100 = Rs. 39100
