    B Rs. 4,800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 6,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 7,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 8,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the income of 'A' be Rs. 'x' Income of 'B' = Rs. (x − 1200) Difference between savings
    = 0.65x − 0.65(x − 1200)
    = 0.65x − 0.65x + 0.65 × 1200
    = Rs. 780 Therefore, income of 'C' = (780 / 0.13) = Rs. 6,000
