    B Rs 17,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 18,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 10,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Fraction of salary spent = 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6 Find LCM of 3, 4, 6 = 12 1/3 = 4/12 1/4 = 3/12 1/6 = 2/12 Total spent = (4 + 3 + 2) / 12 = 9/12 = 3/4 So, fraction saved = 1 − 3/4 = 1/4 Saved amount = 1/4 of salary = 4500 Salary = 4500 × 4 = 18,000 Answer: Monthly salary = Rs 18,000.
