Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer in option 1 i.e. 33,335

Total expenditure of 12 months = Rs.18600 × 3 + Rs.21750 × 4 + Rs.22840 × 5 

⇒ Rs.55800 + Rs.87000 + Rs.114200 = Rs.257000

Income = Savings + Expenditure

Income for the year = Rs.143020 + Rs.257000 = Rs.400020

The average monthly income = 400020/12 = Rs.33335
