    D RS.65,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the monthly salary be Rs. '100x'. Amount spent on transportation = 100 X 0.2 = Rs. '20x'Ā  Amount spent on food = 100 X 0.4 = Rs. '40x'Ā  Amount spent on fuel = (100x - 20x - 40x) X 0.1 = Rs. '4x'Ā  So, savings = 100x - 20x - 40x - 5x = Rs. '36x' ATQ, 36x = 18,000Ā  So, 'x' = 500Ā  So, required monthly salary will beĀ  = Rs.100x = Rs. (100 X 500) = Rs.50,000
