Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Rs.13,000.

Understanding/Application

Let the monthly salary of Ravinder be x.

The amount he invested in medical insurance = Rs. 3750

Percentage of the amount invested in medical insurance policy = 15%

15x/100 = 3750

x = 25000

Percentage of salary left with him after investing in the medical insurance policy, mutual funds, and child education policy = 100 - 15 - 25 - 8 = 52%

Total amount left with him = 52(25000)/100 = Rs. 13000
