A. Rs. 50000
B. Rs. 40000
C. Rs. 30000
D. Rs. 20000
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let Person income is 100x20% his income give to elder son, i.e. 20x
Remaining income 100x -20x = 80x
Now 30% of his remaining income given to his younger son
i.e. 30% of 80x = 24x
Remain saving is 80x - 24x = 56x
Now 10% of his remaining income he donated to a trust
i.e. 10% of 56x = 5.6x
Remain income = 56x - 5.6x = 50.4x
According to question
50.4x = 10080
x = $$\frac{{10080}}{{50.4}}$$ = 200
Person income = 100 x 200 = Rs. 20000

A. $$\frac{1}{4}$$
B. $$\frac{1}{3}$$
C. $$\frac{1}{2}$$
D. $$\frac{2}{3}$$
X*(80/100)*(70/100)*(90/100)=10080
After cancellation we get
X=(10080*5*100)/(9*7*4)
X=160*5*25
X=800*25
X=20000
