      Solution

      Let the income of the man be Rs. x Therefore, sum donated to NGO ‘A’ = Rs. 0.22x Sum left with NGO ‘A’ = 0.25 × 0.22x = Rs. 0.055x Sum donated to NGO ‘B’ = Rs. 0.11x Sum left with NGO ‘B’ = 0.2 × 0.11x = Rs. 0.022x Sum donated to NGO ‘C’ = Rs. 0.26x Sum left with NGO ‘C’ = 0.5 × 0.26x = Rs. 0.13x According to the question, 0.055x + 0.022x + 0.13x = 5175 Or, 0.207x = 5175 Or, x = 5175/0.207 = 25000 Therefore, income of man = Rs. 25000
