    B Rs.1850 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the monthly income of Aman be Rs. 100x

    So, 0.75 × 100x × 0.20 = 1500

    Or, 15x = 1500

    Or, x = 100

    Desired amount = 0.20 × 75x = 0.20 × 75 × 100 = Rs. 1500
