AS The man planned to pay Rs 3600 in 40 installmetnts

So S40=3600=40/2(2a+39d)

3600 / 20 = 2a+39d

2a+39d=180 -------(1)

Now as 1/3rd of debt is left to pay,so paid by man

=(1-1/3)*3600=2/3*3600=2400

So S30=2400

30/2(2a+29d)=2400

2a+29d=2400/15

2a+29d=160-------(2)

Now subtracting (02 ) from (1)

10d=20

d=2 Rs

Now putting d=20 in (1)

2a+39*2=180

2a=180-78=102

a=51 Rs

So  first installment =Rs 51
