Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 73500.

Let the income of B be 100x

Income of A = 145x

Income of C = 40% of (100x + 145x) = 98x

Income of D = 120% of C

⇒ 6/5 × 98x = 117.6x

Difference between B and D: (117.6x - 100x)

⇒ 17.6x = 13200

⇒ x = 750

Income of C = 98x

⇒ 98 × 750 = 73500
