Aman gave 30% of his monthly income to his father and of the remaining income he gave 30% to his daughter and 25% to his wife. Aman invested the amount of money still remaining from his monthly income equally in three schemes. If he invested ₹42,000 in each scheme, what is Aman's monthly income (in ₹ thousand)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 400

Total remaining amount = 100% - 30% - (55% of 70%)

100 - 30% - 38.5% = 31.5%

31.5% = 42000 x 3 = 126000

100% = 12600031.5\dfrac{126000}{31.5} x 100 = 400000
