    Question

    Anil spends 40% of his income on rent and 40% of the remaining income on medicines. If he saves ₹7,200 every month, then his monthly income is:

    A.

    ₹22,000

    B.

    ₹20,000

    C.

    ₹36,000

    D.

    ₹25,000

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Rent expenditure = 40% of monthly income.
    Medicine expenditure = 40% of remaining income after rent.
    Savings = ₹7,200.
    Solution:

    Let Anil’s monthly income be ₹ 100x

    Expenditure on rent = 40% of 100x = 40x

    Remaining income after rent = 100x-40x = 60x

    Expenditure on Medicines = 40% of 60x = 24x
    Remaining Income overall = 100x- (40x+24x) = 36x
    Savings is equal to remaining income after medicines:
    36x = 7200

    x = 200

    Hence Anil’s monthly income = ₹ 100x = 100×200=Rs.20000\times 200 = Rs. 20000​​
