      B Rs.90,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.60,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the monthly income of Rahul = Rs. x Rent = x × 25/100 = Rs. (x/4) Transport = x × 15/100 = Rs. (3x/20) According to the question, (x/4) × (30/100) − (3x/20) × (20/100) = 2700 ⇒ 3x/40 − 3x/100 = 2700 ⇒ (7.5x − 3x)/100 = 2700 ⇒ 4.5x/100 = 2700 ⇒ x = 2700 × (100/4.5) ⇒ x = Rs. 60,000 Monthly income of Rahul = Rs. 60,000
