After a 15% decline, the income of Ajay stands at ₹2,12,500. What was his original income (in ₹)?

Correct option is C

Given:

Decline in salary = 15%

Ajay’s current salary =₹2,12,500

Solution:

Let the previous salary be x

Then Current Salary = $$x - 15\% of x = 0.85x$$​​

​$$0.85x =212500$$​​

​$$x= \frac{212500}{0.85} = ₹2,50,000$$​​

Ajay’s original income was ₹2,50,000
