5. None of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 1,28,000

Given:

Salary of Ahaan = 37.5% of Ahaan and Kunal

Kunal's saving = 60% of his total salary

Ahaan and Kunal’s savings = 50% of their income

The average expenditure of Ahaan and Kunal = Rs. 32,000

Calculation:

Total savings of Ahaan and Kunal = 50% of their total income

∴ Total expenditure of A and B also will be equal to 50% of their total income

Average expenditure = Rs. 32000

∴ Total expenditure = Rs. 64,000 = 50% of their total income

∴ Total income of Ahaan and Kunal = Rs. (64000 × 2)

⇒ Rs. 1,28,000

∴ the total salary of Ahaan and Kunal is Rs. 1,28,000.
