-
- Rs. 2000
- Rs. 2040
- Rs. 2100
- Rs. 2200
Correct Option: A
Suppose that his salary = Rs. 100
House Rent = Rs.10
so, Balance = Rs. 90
Expenditure on education = Rs. (15 x 90) / 100= Rs.13.50
Balance =Rs.76.50
Expenditure on clothes = Rs.(10 x 76.50) / 100 = Rs. 7.65
Balance now = Rs.68.85
If balance is Rs. 68.85, salary =Rs. 100
If balance is Rs. 1377, salary = Rs.(100/68.85) x 1377 = Rs. 2000
