Question 55

20% of a man's salary is paid as rent, 60% are his living expenses and 10% are his savings. If he spends remaining ₹ 30 on the education of his children, find his salary

Solution

Let total salary of the man = Rs. $$100x$$

% salary paid in rent, expenses and savings = 20+60+10 = 90%

% salary spent on education = 100-90 = 10%

Thus, amount spent on education = $$\frac{10}{100} \times 100x=30$$

=> $$10x=30$$

=> $$x=\frac{30}{10}=3$$

$$\therefore$$ Man's salary = $$100 \times 3=Rs.$$ $$300$$

=> Ans - (A)
