Question

    A girl spent 30% of her monthly income on clothing. Of the remaining, she spent on travel and food in the ratio of 4:3. If the difference of the income spent on travel and food is Rs.612, then find her monthly income.

    A Rs.6160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.6180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.6120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.6150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs.6140 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let her income be 100%. Remaining income = (100 - 30)% = 70% Let the money spent on travel and food be Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively. Now, according to question, => 4x – 3x = 612 => x = 612 Total money spent on travel and food together = 7x = 4284 => 70% --- 4284 => 100% ----- 6120 Therefore her income is Rs. 6120.
