    Question

    A man spends 12% of his monthly salary on house rent. If every month, he also spends ₹407 on conveyance and ₹8,657 on grocery and saves the remaining ₹924, his monthly salary is:​

    A.

    ₹11,350

    B.

    ₹11,413

    C.

    ₹11,449

    D.

    ₹11,377

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    House Rent = 12% of monthly salary

    Conveyance = ₹407

    Grocery = ₹8,657

    Savings = ₹924

    Formula Used:

    Salary - (House Rent + Conveyance + Grocery) = Savings

    Let salary be x. Then:

    x - (0.12x + 407 + 8657) = 924

    Solution:

    x - 0.12x - 9064 = 924

    0.88x = 9988

    x=99880.88x = \frac{9988}{0.88}​​

    Monthly Salary = ₹11350.0
