Correct Answer :

Option A

20000

Solution :

The correct option is 20000.

Let the total monthly income of the man be Rs x.

First, we determine the amount spent on rent and the remaining income:
Amount spent on rent = 30% of x=0.3x
Remaining income = x-0.3x=0.7x

Next, we calculate the savings from the remaining income:
The man spends 50% of the remaining income on travelling, which means he saves the other 50% of the remaining income.
Savings = 50% of 0.7x
Savings = 0.5×0.7x=0.35x

We are given that his savings are Rs 7000. We can set up the equation:
0.35x=7000

Now, we solve for x:
x=70000.35
x=70000035
x=20000

Therefore, his monthly income is Rs 20000.
