(i) $5 + (n - 1) 3 = 59 \Rightarrow n = 19$ [$1$ mark]
(ii) $a_{31} = 95$ [$1$ mark]
(iii) (a) $\text{Number of persons} = \frac{5000}{100} = 50$ [$1$ mark]
$5 + (n - 1) 3 = 50 \Rightarrow n = 16$ [$1$ mark]
OR
(iii) (b) $S_{16} = \frac{16}{2} [10 + 15(3)] = 440$ [$1$ mark]
$\text{Total amount earned in } 16 \text{ days} = 440 \times 100 = \text{\text{Rs} } 44000$ [$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}$ mark]
