    E Rs. 9990 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Monthly income of ‘C’ = 65000/4 = Rs. 16250 Let the monthly income of ‘A’ be Rs. x Therefore, monthly income of ‘B’ = Rs. (48750 – x) According to the question, 0.45x + 0.20(48750 – x) = 16800 Or, 0.25x = 7050 x = 28200 Or, savings of ‘A’ = 0.45x = Rs. 12690
