Meena spends 30% of her salary on rent and 20% of the remaining amount on food. She saves the rest, which is ₹16,800. What is her salary?
- ₹28,000
- ₹32,000
- ₹30,000
- ₹35,000
Answer and explanation
Answer: C. ₹30,000
Explanation: After rent 70% remains; after food 80% of that remains, i.e. 0.7 × 0.8 = 56% of salary. 56% = ₹16,800, so salary = ₹30,000.
