Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Rs. 52600.
Let the monthly income of Bhavani be y
Income spent on education = 15y/100
Income spent on food = 20y/100
Remaining income = y - (15y/100 + 20y/100)
⇒ y - 35y/100 = 65y/100
Income spent on sport = 40/100 × 65y/100 = 195y/1000
Amount left = Rs. 10257
⇒ 10257 = y - (15y/100 + 20y/100 + 26y/100 + 195y/1000)
⇒ 10257 = y - 805y/1000
⇒ 10257 = 195y/1000
⇒ y = (10257 × 1000)/195
⇒ y = Rs.52600
Therefore, Bhavani's monthly income is Rs.52600
