    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the amount donated to NGO ‘X’ and ‘Y’ be Rs. 12x and Rs. 15x respectively. According to the question, 15x – 12x = 600 Or, x = Rs. 200 Total amount donated to all the two NGOs = 27x = Rs. 5400 Monthly income of 'P' = 5400/0.25 = Rs. 21600 Amount left with 'P' = 0.75 × 21600 = Rs. 16200
