Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 1,12,500.

Rajeev saves 75% of his monthly income

His expenditure = ₹37,500 = 25% of income.

Let total income = ₹X.

Then,

⇒ 25% of X = 37,500

⇒ X = 37,500 ÷ 0.25

⇒ X = ₹1,50,000

Now, saving = 75% of income = 75% of ₹1,50,000 = ₹1,12,500
