A person spends \(\frac{3}{5}\) of his income and saves ₹4000. What is his income?
- ₹ 9000
- ₹ 8000
- ₹ 12,000
- ₹ 10,000
Correct answer: ₹ 10,000
Solution
If a person spends 3/5 of his income, he saves 2/5 of it. Given savings = ₹4000, so 2/5 of income = 4000. Therefore, income = 4000 × 5/2 = ₹10,000.
