    C 30000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 37500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let monthly salary of B = 100x Amount invested on Travelling = (40/100) × 100x = 40x Remaining amount = 100x – 40x = 60x Amount invested on Food = (25/100) × 60x = 15x Remaining amount = 60x – 15x = 45x Amount invested on Rent = (20/100) × 45x = 9x ATQ, => (15x + 9x) = 7200 => x = 300 Therefore monthly salary of B = 100 × 300 = Rs. 30,000
