  Let Ram's monthly income be x, then total expenditure on household items, clothes and medicines are 0.5x, 0.2x and 0.05x respectively.
  So (0.5x +0.2x +0.05x) + 11250 =x
  => 0.75x + 11250 =x
  => x= 11250/0.25= 45000

• 45000
  11250*100/25=45000
  since saving =100-(50+20+5)=25

• lets Ram's monthly income 100%
  100% -(50%+20%+5%)=25% remaining
  therefore 25%=11250 (given)
  100%=?
  
  ?=(100*11250)/25
  =45000(monthly income)

• Let Ram's monthly income be x. Total expenditure is 75% of his income (50% on household items, 20% on clothes,5% on medicines ) and his saving is 25% of his income
  25% of x=11250
  0.25 x=11250
  x=45000

• ans 4.
  let x is the income
  20% of x + 50% of x+ 5% of x + 11250 = x
  x=45000

• savings = 11250
  50%+20%+5%=75%
  now total income =100%
  100-75=25
  25%=11250
  25x4=100
  25x11250=45000
