    A Rs. 40,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 45,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 35,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the income of Amit = Rs. '100x' Amount left after spending on food = 100x - 100x X 0.30 = Rs. '70x' Amount left after spending on rent = 70x - 70x X 0.50 = Rs. '35x' So, 35x = 14000 Or, x = 14000 ÷ 35 = 400 So, income of Amit = 400 X 100 = Rs. 40,000 Income of Rohit = 40000 X 1.25 = Rs. 50,000
