Question:

Bala decided to donate 10% of his salary to PM Care fund. On the day of donation, he changed his mind and donated ₹1,800 which was 60% of what he had decided earlier. How much is his salary?

Options:

₹36,000

₹32,000

₹30,000

₹40,000

Correct Answer:

₹30,000

Explanation:

60% of earlier decided donated amount = 1800

Earlier decided donated amount = \(\frac{5}{3}\) × 1800 = 3000

10% of total salary = 3000

Total salary = \(\frac{10}{1}\) × 3000  = 30000
