      D 96000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ;
      Education = 25%
      Remaining = 75%
      Food = 40% of 75% = 30% of total
      Left after food = 75% – 30% = 45%
      Groceries = 20% of 45% = 9% of total
      Difference = Food – Groceries = (30% – 9%) = 21%
      If 21% = Rs. 4200
      Total income = 4200 × (100 / 21) = Rs. 20000
