    D 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the amount saved by Ajay = Rs. Y

    Then, amount spent by Ajay = Rs. (Y - 15000)

    We have, Y + Y - 15000 = 50000

    Or, Y = (50000 + 15000) ÷ 2 = Rs. 32500

    So, amount spent by Ajay = 32500 - 15000 = Rs. 17500

    Required percentage = (17500 / 50000) × 100 = 35%
