    Solution

    ATQ, Let the income of Priya be Rs. '100x' Amount spent on food = '100x' X 0.25 = Rs. '25x' Amount spent on rent = '100x' X 0.3 = Rs. '30x' Amount spent on groceries = '100x' X 0.25 = Rs. '25x' Remaining income = ('100x' - '25x' - '30x' - '25x') = Rs. '20x' Savings of Priya = '20x' X 0.9 = 4,500 Or, 18x = 4,500 Or, x = 4,500 ÷ 18 = 250 Therefore, income of Priya = 100x = 100 X 250 = Rs.25,000
