Question:

Bhanu spends 20% of his monthly salary on rent, 10% on stationery, 14% on transport, 18% on electricity, and the balance of ₹1,520 on remaining items. What is the monthly salary of Bhanu?

Options:

₹10,000

₹6,000

₹4,000

₹2,000

Correct Answer:

₹4,000

Explanation:

Let the salary of Bhanu = 100x

ATQ,

Bhanu is spending his complete salary on different things,

100x = 20% of 100x + 10% of 100x + 14% of 100x + 18% of 100x + 20% of 100x + 1520

100x = 62% of 100x + 1520

 100x = \(\frac{62}{100}\) × 100x +1520

100x = 62x + 1520

38x = 1520

x = 40

So , salary of Bhanu = 100x = 4000
