Question

A man spends on an average Rs. 269.47 for the first 7 months and Rs. 281.05 for the next 5 months. Find out his monthly salary if he saved Rs. 308.46 during the year.

• A. Rs. 400
• B. Rs. 500
• C. Rs. 300
• D. Rs. 600
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs. 300

Total spending in 12 months
$=Rs.[269.47\times 7+281.05\times 5]$
= Rs. 3291.54
Total income = spendings + savings
= Rs. 3291.54 + Rs. 308.46
= Rs. 3600.00
$\therefore$ Monthly salary = $Rs.\frac{3600}{12}=Rs.300$
