SSC MTS - 23/10/2024 - (12:30 PM - 2:30 PM) • Quantitative Aptitude • Q18

A student saves an average of ₹4,000 per month for the first three months. How much should be saved (in ₹) on an average per month over the next 9 months to average ₹4,375 per month over the whole year?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 4500.

Total saving required for whole year = 12 × 4375 = 52500

Saving in first 3 months = 3 × 4000 = 12000

Remaining saving required = 52500 − 12000 = 40500

Average saving for next 9 months = 40500 ÷ 9 = 4500
