    Income of Priya is Rs. 25,000. She spends 14% on rent,

    16% on clothing, 'a%' on food, 32% on others and saves the rest. If her savings is Rs. 5,000, find the value of 'a'.
    A 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18 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 = (5000 ÷ 25000) × 100 = 20%
    So, 14 + 16 + a + 32 + 20 = 100
    Or, 82 + a = 100
    Or, a = 18
