Question:

Ram spends 70% of his salary and deposits 15 % of his salary in the bank. If he is left with Rs. 1500, what is his monthly salary?

Options:

10000

10500

9000

9500

Correct Answer:

10000

Explanation:

Let the monthly salary be Rs.100

Spends 70% = Rs.70, and 

Savings in the bank 15% = Rs.15

The remaining (15%) = Rs.15

According to the question,

Rs.15 = 1500,

then monthly salary (i.e. Rs.100) = Rs.10000
