बांधकामाच्या भोवतीच्या मलबाच्या सफाईशी संबंधित करारात ठरलेल्या दिवसांत काम पुरे झाले नाही तर विशिष्ट दंडाची तरतूद पुढीलप्रमाणे केलेली आहे. 1 ल्या दिवसासाठी 250 रुपये; 2 व्या दिवसासाठी 310 रुपये; 3 व्या दिवसासाठी 370 रुपये या प्रमाणे. जर ठेकेदाराने 6960 रुपये दंड भरला असेल तर त्याने कामाला केलेल्या विलंबाचे दिवस निवडा.
The penalties form an AP where first term a = 250 and common difference d = 60. Using the sum of AP formula S_n = n/2 * [2a + (n-1)d], we substitute S_n = 6960 to find n = 15, representing the number of delayed days.
