Question

Meenakshi earns Rs. 12000 less than Neetu and spends one - fifth of her salary. Find Neetu's salary if Meenakshi saves Rs. 24000.
1. Rs. 32,000
2. Rs. 42,000
3. Rs. 38,000
4. Rs. 44,000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 42,000

Given:

Meenakshi's salary = Neetu's salary - 12000

Meenakshi's expenses = 1/5 of the salary

Meenakshi's savings = Rs. 24000

Calculation:

Let Meenakshi's salary be Rs. x

A.T.Q

4/5 of x = Rs. 24000

⇒ x = Rs. 30000

so, Neetu's salary = 30000 + 12000

Neetu's salary = Rs. 42000

∴ The answer is Rs. 42000
