    Solution

    ATQ, Let the income be Rs. 100n Amount spent on rent = 35% of 100n = Rs. 35n Remaining income = 100n − 35n = Rs. 65n Amount spent on food = 20% of 65n = Rs. 13n Remaining income = 65n − 13n = Rs. 52n Amount spent on education = 25% of 52n = Rs. 13n Remaining income = 52n − 13n = Rs. 39n Amount spent on other needs = (4/13) of 39n = Rs. 12n So, savings = 39n − 12n = 27n Given savings = 8,100 So, 27n = 8,100 Or, n = 300 Therefore, amount spent on education = 13n = 13 × 300 = Rs. 3,900
