Question

A person saves 40% of his income. If his expenditure is ₹960, then his income (in ₹) is:

A.

1,640

B.

576

C.

1,600

D.

384

Correct option is C

Given:

Saving = 40% of income

Expenditure = ₹960

Solution:

Expenditure = (100% − Saving%) × Income = 60% of Income

Income = Expenditure ÷ 0.60

Income = ₹960 ÷ 0.60 = ₹1600

Alternate Method:

Saving : Expenditure = 40 : 60 = 2 : 3
If 3 parts = 960 

1 part = 320
Total income = (2 + 3) parts = 5 parts = 5 × 320 = ₹1600
