    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the income of Meena be Rs. 100n

    Amount spent on groceries = 0.18 × 100n = Rs. 18n

    Amount spent on rent = 0.12 × 100n = Rs. 12n

    Remaining income = 100n - 18n - 12n = Rs. 70n

    Amount spent on travel = 0.30 × 70n = Rs. 21n

    Now remaining income = 70n - 21n = Rs. 49n

    Amount spent on shopping = 0.25 × 49n = Rs. 12.25n

    Savings = 49n - 12.25n = Rs. 36.75n

    Now, 12n = 3,600

    So, n = 300

    Therefore, savings = 36.75 × 300 = Rs. 11,025
