      A Rs. 10000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 12500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 15000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 17500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 20000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let, total yearly income be Rs. 100x. So, amount invested in FD = 0.4 Γ— 100x = Rs. 40x So, amount spent on rent and food = (25 + 15)% of (100x – 40x) = 0.4 Γ— 60x = Rs. 24x Therefore, amount saved = 100x – 40x – 24x = Rs. 36x So, 36x = 54000 x = 54000/36 = 1500 Therefore, yearly income of Sujata = 100 Γ— 1500 = Rs. 150000 So, monthly income = 150000/12 = Rs. 12500
