Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

On 1st June, amount in piggy bank = $2.00

On 2nd June, amount in piggy bank = $2.50

On 3rd June, amount in piggy bank = $3.00

So, it forms an arithmetic sequence:

Here, a = $2

d = 0.50

n = 30 days

So, Sum of 30 terms would be


S_(30)=(30)/(2)(2* 2+(30-1)0.5)\\\\S_(30)=15(4+29* 0.50)\\\\S_(30)=15(4+14.5)\\\\S_(30)=15(18.5)\\\\S_(30)=\$277.50

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.
