    C Rs.5120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.5420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let her income be 100%. Remaining income = (100 - 10)% = 90% Let the money spent on travel and food be Rs. 5x and Rs. 4x respectively. Now, according to question, => 5x – 4x = 512 => x = 512 Total money spent on travel and food together = 9x = 4608 => 90% --- 4608 => 100% ----- 5120 Therefore her income is Rs. 5120.
