Q. If the respective ratio of Provident fund deduction and other deductions of S was 7:13, what was S’s other deduction?

• A. 2160
• B. 2080
• C. 2120
• D. 2040
• E. 1980

Answer 1

The correct option is B

2080

$\frac{\text{Provided fund deduction}}{\text{Other fund deduction}}=\frac{7}{13}=\frac{10\%\text{of basic salary}}{otherdeduction}=\frac{7}{13}=\left(\frac{\frac{10}{100}\times 11200}{Otherdeduction}\right)=\frac{7}{13}\text{Therefore Other deduction}=\frac{1120\times 13}{7}=2080$
