B. Rs. 20000

C. Rs. 24000

D. Rs. 26000

E. None of these

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Sonal's annual salary = Rs. 108000
∴ Sonal's monthly salary
= Rs. $$\left( {\frac{{108000}}{{12}}} \right)$$
= Rs. 9000
Nandini's monthely salary
= Rs. (9000 × 2)
= Rs. 18000
Let Kaushal's monthly salary be Rs. x
Then,
12% of x = 16% of 18000
⇒ $$\frac{{12}}{{100}}$$x = $$\left( {\frac{{16}}{{100}} \times 18000} \right)$$
⇒ $$\frac{{12}}{{100}}$$x = 2880
⇒ x = $$\left( {\frac{{2880 × 100}}{{12}}} \right)$$
⇒ x = 24000
