Question:

A man spends 10% of his salary on food. He spends 20% of the remaining part on fuel. If he is left with ₹4680, then what is his salary?

Options:

₹6000

₹5000

₹6500

₹5500

Correct Answer:

₹6500

Explanation:

Let Salary of Men = 100x

Expenditure on Food = 10% of 100x = 10x

Remaining = 100x - 10x = 90x

Expenditure on Fuel = 20% of 90x = 18x

According to question ,

100x - 10x - 18x = 72x

72x = 4680

x = 65

Salary of Men = 100 × 65 = 6500
