A man spends half of his salary on household expenses, 1/4th for rent, 1/5th for travel expenses, the man deposits the rest in a bank. If his monthly deposits in the bank amount 50, what is his monthly salary?
(a) Rs.500 (b) Rs.1500 (c) Rs.1000 (d) Rs. 900

• ans is c)1000
  his salary is x
  household expenses is x/2
  rent is x/4
  travel expenses is x/5
  remaining amount deposit in bank is 50
  x-x/2-x/4-x/5=50
  (20x-10x-5x-4x)/20=50
  x=1000

• Take Total monthly salary as 'x'.
  For household = x/2,
  For rent = x/4,
  For travel expenses = x/5,
  Bank deposit = x - [(x/2) + (x/4) + (x/5)]=x/20,
  By hypothesis, x/20 = 50 => x=1000.
  so, monthly salary is Rs.1000

• let the total salary be x
  A.T.Q
  x/2+x/4+x/5+50=x

  19x+1000=20x
  20x-19x=1000
  x=1000
  so ans is c
