    Income of Ramesh is Rs. 40,000. He spends 20% on rent,

    15% on clothing, 'a%' on food, 25% on others and saves the rest. If his savings is Rs. 8,000, find the value of 'a'.
    A 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Savings as percentage of income = (8000 ÷ 40000) × 100 = 20%
    So, 20 + 15 + a + 25 + 20 = 100
    Or, 80 + a = 100
    Or, a = 20
