Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : ₹ 100000 Given: Monthly savings of Sagar = ₹ 40800 Formula used: Percentage change = [(Initial value – Final value)/Initial value] × 100 Calculation: Let the monthly income of Sagar = x Amount left after spending on rent = x × (100 – 36)/100 ⇒ x × 64/100 = x(16/25) Amount left after spending on food = x(16/25) × (100 – 25)/100 ⇒ x(16/25) × (75/100) = x(16/25) × (3/4) Amount left after spending on clothes = x(16/25) × (3/4) × (100 – 15)/100 ⇒ x(16/25) × (3/4) × (85/100) = x(16/25) × (3/4) × (17/20) Sagar savings = x(16/25) × (3/4) × (17/20) = 40800 ⇒ x[(3 × 17)/(25 × 5)] = 40800 ⇒ x(51/125) = 40800 ⇒ x = (40800 × 125)/51 ⇒ x = 100000 ∴ The monthly income of Sagar is ₹ 100000.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : ₹ 100000

Given:

Monthly savings of Sagar = ₹ 40800

Formula used:

Percentage change = [(Initial value – Final value)/Initial value] × 100

Calculation:

Let the monthly income of Sagar = x

Amount left after spending on rent = x × (100 – 36)/100

⇒ x × 64/100 = x(16/25)

Amount left after spending on food = x(16/25) × (100 – 25)/100

⇒ x(16/25) × (75/100) = x(16/25) × (3/4)

Amount left after spending on clothes = x(16/25) × (3/4) × (100 – 15)/100

⇒ x(16/25) × (3/4) × (85/100) = x(16/25) × (3/4) × (17/20)

Sagar savings = x(16/25) × (3/4) × (17/20) = 40800

⇒ x[(3 × 17)/(25 × 5)] = 40800

⇒ x(51/125) = 40800

⇒ x = (40800 × 125)/51

⇒ x = 100000

∴ The monthly income of Sagar is ₹ 100000.
