  1. A man spends 12
    1
    % of his salary on items of daily use and 30% of the remainder on
    2

    house rent. After that he is left with ₹ 2940. How much is his salary ?
    1. ₹ 4800
    2. ₹ 5200
    3. ₹ 4500
    4. ₹ 4000
Correct Option: A

Let man’s salary be P.

∴ His expenditure on items of daily use =
25
% of P
2

His expenditure =
25 × P
= ₹
P
2008

So, remaining amount = P -
P
= ₹
7P
88

Expenditure on house rent = 30% of ₹
7P
8

Expenditure on house rent =
30
×
7P
1008

= ₹
21P
80

Now, remaining amount =
70P - 21P
= ₹
49P
8080

According to the question,
49P
= 2940
80

⇒ P =
2940 × 80
= ₹ 4800
49

Here , p = 25 / 2 % , q = 26.25% and R = ₹ 2940
We can find the required answer with the help of given formula ,
His salary =
100 × 2940
100 -
25
+ 26.25
2

His salary =
100 × 2940
100 - (12.5 + 26.25)

His salary =
294000
= ₹ 4800
61.25
