Answer»

LET his income be x.

He gave 20% of his income to his elder son = 0.2x

Remaining amount = 0.8x

He gave 30% of the remaining to the younger son = 0.8x × 0.3 = 0.24x

Remaining amount = 0.56x

He DONATED 10% of balance to a trust = 0.056x

Remaining amount = 0.504x

He is LEFT with Rs. 10080

⇒ 0.504x = 10080

⇒ x = 20000
