Solution

The correct option is B Rs 73,333
Per capita income is the sum of all income sources, divided by the total number of people. Here the gross income of the family is = Rs (1,80,000+ 40,000) = Rs 2,20,000, the pocket money won't be added as it is an expense for the family. Then the per capita income of the family= Gross income / 3 (as the family has three members) = Rs 73,333.
