    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the monthly income of Ramesh = Rs. x Amount spent on groceries = Rs. 0.30x Amount spent on transportation = Rs. 0.20x Amount left after these = x – 0.30x – 0.20x = Rs. 0.50x Amount given to his brother = 50% of 0.50x = Rs. 0.25x Monthly savings of Ramesh = 0.50x – 0.25x = 6300 0.25x = 6300 x = 25200 So, the monthly income of Ramesh = Rs. 25,200
