Each year, for 40 years, Anne will pay money into a savings scheme. In the first year she pays 500. Her payments then increase by 50 each year, so that she pays 550 in the second year, 600 in the third year, and so on. (a) Find the amount that Anne will pay in the 40th year. (2) (b) Find the total amount that Anne will pay in over the 40 years. (2) Over the same 40 years, Brain will also pay money into the savings scheme. In the first year he pays in 890 and his payments then increase by d each year. Given that Brian and Anne will pay in exactly the same amount over the 40 years, (c) find the value of d. (4)
