A man spends a part of his monthly income and saves a part of it. The ratio of his expenditure to his savings is 26 : 3. If his monthly income is ₹7250, what is the amount of his monthly savings?
(a)₹290
(b)₹350
(c)₹750
(d)₹780
Answer
Answer (as printed): D
Explanation
Let the man's expenditure be $\text{₹}26x$ and savings be $\text{₹}3x$. Then, monthly income $=\text{₹}(26x+3x)=\text{₹}(29x)$. So, $29x=7250$ or $x=250$. $\therefore$ Monthly savings $=\text{₹}(3\times250)=\text{₹}750$.
