Solution

The correct option is A
₹3750

Given, a man has spent $\frac{3}{5}$ of his income.

Hence, his savings $= 1 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{5 - 3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$

$We have, \frac{2}{5} of his income = ₹ 1500$

$i . e ., \frac{2}{5} \times income = ₹ 1500$

$∴ income = ₹ 1500 \div \frac{2}{5}$

$= ₹ 1500 \times \frac{5}{2}$

$= ₹ \frac{1500 \times 5}{2}$

$= ₹ 3750$
