Radha spends 40% of her salary on food, 20% on house rent, 10% on entertainment and 10% on conveyance. If her savings at the end of a month are ₹ 1500, then her salary per month (in ₹) is
-
- ₹ 8000
- ₹ 7500
- ₹ 6000
- ₹ 10000
Correct Option: B
Radha’s total percentage expenditure = (40 + 20 + 10 + 10)% = 80%
Percentage savings = 100 – 80 = 20%
Now, 20% of her total salary = 1500
Her total salary = | = ₹ 7500 | |

Second method to solve this question ,
Here, p = 40% , q = 20% , r = 10% , s = 10% and R = ₹ 1500
Monthly income = | × R | |
100 - (p + q + r + s) |
Monthly income = | × 1500 | |
100 - (40 + 20 + 10 + 10) |
Monthly income = | ||
100 - 80 |
Monthly income = | = ₹ 7500 | |
20 |
