      Question

      The income of Surya is Rs. 75,000. He spent 16(2/3)% of

      his income on food, 60% of the remaining income on rent and saved 44% of the income remaining after his expenses on rent and food. Find the amount saved by Surya.
      A Rs. 12,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 11,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 13,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 9,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Amount spent on food = 75000 x (50/300) = Rs. 12,500 So, remaining income = 75000 - 12500 = Rs. 62,500 Amount spent on Rent = 62500 x 0.6 = Rs. 37,500 Remaining income = 62500 - 37500 = Rs. 25000 So, amount saved = 25000 x 0.44 = Rs. 11,000 Alternate solution Amount saved = (5/6) x (2/5) x (44/100) x 75000 = Rs. 11,000
