Ram spends 30% of his salary on house rent, 30% of the rest on his children's education and 24% of the rest on clothes. After his expenditure, he is left with 2500. What is Ram's salary?
A
6713.2
B
20,000
C
10,000
D
15,000
Correct Option:
A
Explanation
Let the salary be S. After spending 30% on rent, 70% remains. He then retains 70% of that after education, and finally retains 76% after clothing: S(0.70)(0.70)(0.76) = 2500. So 0.3724S = 2500, giving S ≈ ₹6713.2.
