    A 7200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the income of the person be Rs. ‘6x’

    Monthly savings of the person = 6x × (1/6) = Rs. ‘x’

    Expenditure of the person = 6x – x = Rs. ‘5x’

    Also, 6000 = 5x

    Or, x = 1200

    Monthly income of the person = 1200 × 6 = Rs. 7,200.
