    Raj's income is Rs. 25,000, which is 20% lower than

    Ram's income. Ram saves a certain amount and spends Rs. 1,750 more than what he saves. We need to determine how much Ram saves.
    A Rs. 14,750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 15,650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 12,950 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 13,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Income of Ram = 25000 ÷ 0.8 = Rs. 31,250 Let the amount saved by Ram = Rs. 'Y' Then, amount spent by Ram = (Y + 1750) So, Y + Y + 1750 = 31250 So, Y = (31250 - 1750) ÷ 2 = 29500 ÷ 2 = 14750
