Question

Gopika decided to donate 13% of her salary to an NGO, but on the day of donation she changed her mind and donated Rs.3607.50, which was 75% of the amount she had decided to donate earlier. How much is Gopika’s salary?

• A. Rs.35,000
• B. Rs.37,000
• C. Rs.39,000
• D. Cannot be determined
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Rs.37,000

Let Gopika’s salary be $x$ then given that $=\frac{75}{100}\times \frac{13}{100}\times x=3607.5$

So, $x$ = Gopika’s salary = Rs.37000
