A. Rs. 8000
B. Rs. 7000
C. Rs. 9000
D. Rs. 6000
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Narayan's saving and rent = 1000 + 1800 = Rs. 2800 Let his monthly income be Rs. 100 30% of his income he spent on education i.e. Rs. 30 Remaining = 100 - 30 = 70 50% of remaining on food = $$\frac{{70 \times 50}}{{100}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 35}}$$ Now, that 35 must be equal to his saving and rent i.e. 35 = 2800 then, 1 = $$\frac{{2800}}{{35}}$$ 100 = $$\frac{{2800 \times 100}}{{35}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 8000}}$$ So, his income = Rs. 8000This Question Belongs to Arithmetic Ability >> Percentage
Let the monthly Income be 100
Then 1st 100-30%=70
Then 70-50% =35
As he save 1800 before giving monthly rent total saving before rent is 1800+1000=2800
Hence 35%=2800
2800/35×100=8000 ans
Is 1000 +1800 = 2800:->20℅ ????
Is this correct .
solution:
assume total income=X
X - (30% of X) - (50 % of (X- 30% of X)) - 1000=2800
by solving this we get ,
X=8000
solution:
assume total income=X
X- 30% of X- 50% of X-1000=1800
by solving this we get
X=13000.
((13000-30% of 13000- 50% of 13000-1000=1800))
check option method
a} 30% of 8000=2400
8000-2400=5600
50% of 5600= 2800
8000-(2400+2800+1000)=1800
this condition is true then 8000 is right ans
