    E Rs. 9990 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Monthly income of ‘C’ = 55000/4 = Rs. 13750 Let the monthly income of ‘A’ be Rs. x Therefore, monthly income of ‘B’ = Rs. (41250 – x) According to the question, 0.4x + 0.20(41250 – x) = 15500 Or, 0.2x = 7250 x = 36250 Or, savings of ‘A’ = 0.40x = Rs. 14500
