Question:

Rita spends 25% of her monthly income on house rent and 30% of the remaining income on food. If she saves ₹5,250, what is her monthly income?

Options:

₹12,000

₹16,000

₹10,000

₹14,000

Correct Answer:

₹10,000

Explanation:

70% of Remaining monthly Income = \(\frac{5250}{70}\) × 100 = 7500

Amount spent on house rent = 25% of monthly income

Remaining Amount = 75% of monthly income

So , 75% of monthly income  = 7500

Monthly income = \(\frac{7500}{75}\) × 100 = 10000
