    A) \[\text{Rs}.\,{{2}^{9}}\]          

    B) \[\text{Rs}.\,{{2}^{10}}\]

    C) \[\text{Rs}.\,10\]            

    D) \[\text{Rs}.\,{{10}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Income on the first day \[=Rs.\,1\] Income on the 2nd day \[=\operatorname{Rs}.(1\times 2)=Rs.\,{{2}^{1}}.\] Income on the 3rd day \[=\operatorname{Rs}.({{2}^{1}}\times 2)=Rs.\,{{2}^{2}}\] and so on. Thus, Income on the nth day \[=Rs.\,{{2}^{n-1}}.\] \[\therefore \] Income on the 10th day \[=Rs.\,{{2}^{9}}.\]
