Question

Ramyani spent 5% of her monthly income on travel, 40% on food and household expenses, deposited 3% in a bank and invested 12% in shares. She's left with ₹25000 at the end of the month. Find her monthly income.

• A. ₹60550
• B. ₹62500
• C. ₹63800
• D. ₹65200

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹62500

Total % spent or invested by Ramyani = 5 + 40 + 3 + 12 = 60%
Let the total income be ₹x
Total left = 100 - 60 = 40%
According to question :
$\frac{40x}{100}$ = ₹25000.
$\Rightarrow$ x = $\frac{25000\times 100}{40}$ = ₹62500.
