Correct Answer :

Option A

72000 Rs.

72000 Rs.

Solution :

Given:

  • A's income = 25% of total family income.
  • C's income = 30% of total family income.
  • A spends 80% of his income, so his saving = 20% of his income.
  • C spends 60% of his income, so his saving = 40% of his income.
  • Total savings of A and C = Rs. 40,800.

Step 1: Let the total family income be Rs. x.

A's saving = 20% of 25% of x = 5% of x.

C's saving = 40% of 30% of x = 12% of x.

Total savings = 5% + 12% = 17% of x.

17% of x = 40,800

x = 40,800 × 100 ÷ 17 = Rs. 2,40,000.

Step 2: Find the income of C.

Income of C = 30% of 2,40,000

= Rs. 72,000.

Answer: Rs. 72,000
