5. None of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs 40000

Given:

Kabir = 27% salary rent

18% = Travelling expenses

Food = 35%

Savings = Rs 14300

 

Calculation:

Let the monthly salary of Kabir be x,

⇒ Already used expense 27% + 18% = 45% hence remaining is 55%

⇒ Now 35% of remaining is used in food so rest 65% will be equal to

⇒ X × (55/100) × (65/100) = 14300

⇒ X = 14300× (100/55) × (100/65)

⇒ X = Rs. 40000

∴ His monthly salary is Rs 40000
