    Solution

    ATQ;
    Let the monthly savings of A, B, and C be Rs. ‘9x’, Rs. ‘10x’, and Rs. ‘12x’, respectively.
    So,
    Monthly income of A = (9x/0.25) = Rs. ‘36x’
    Monthly income of B = (10x/0.3) = Rs. ‘33.33x’
    Monthly income of C = (12x/0.35) = Rs. ‘34.29x’
    ATQ;
    (36x + 33.33x + 34.29x) = 88800
    Or, 103.62x = 88800
    So, x = 856.9
    Therefore, monthly salary of 'C' = 34.29x = 34.29 × 856.9 = Rs. 29,399
