Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 40000.
Given :
The income of A is 30% less than the income of B
The Income B is 137.5% more than that of C
The income of A is Rs 28500 less than that of B
Calculations :
Income B is 137.5% more than that of C
⇒ 137.5% = 11/8
Let the income of C be 8x
The income of B is 19x
The income of A is 30% less than the income of B
⇒ 70% of 19x = (70/100)19x = 13.3x
Difference between the income of A and B
⇒ 19x - 13.3x = 28500
⇒ 5.7x = 28500
⇒ x = 5000
Income of C = 8x
⇒ 8 × (5000) = Rs 40000
Hence, the income of C is Rs 40,000
