Answer 1

Given:

House Rent = 30% of Salary

Food = 25% of Salary

Medical Expenditure = 15% of Salary

Others = 16% of Salary

Savings = ₹42,000

Formula used:

Total Salary = House Rent + Food + Medical Expenditure + Others + Savings

Calculation:

Let Monthly Salary = ₹S

Total Expenditure = 30% + 25% + 15% + 16% = 86% of Salary

Savings = 14% of Salary

⇒ 14% of S = ₹42,000

⇒ (14/100) × S = 42,000

⇒ S = (42,000 × 100) / 14

⇒ S = ₹3,00,000

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
