A person deposits 1/16 of his income as Provident Fund and 1/15 of the remaining as insurance premium. If he spends 5/7 of the balance on domestic needs and deposits an amount of Rs. 50 in the bank, his total income would be



a) 150 b) 200 c) 250 d) 300 e) None of the above

• The correct answer is (b) i.e. Rs.200
  
  (1-(1/16))(1-(1/15))(1-(5/7)) of Income = 50
  
  Hence income = 200

• If x is total income, then
  x* (15/16 )*(14/15)*2/7 = 50
  x= 50* 16/4 = Rs 200

• let take x is an total income..
  x*(1-1/16)*(1-1/15)*(1-5/7)=50; ---> cross the inside terms
  x*(15/16)*(14/15)*(2/7)=50; ---> simply those things
  x*(1/4)=50; ---> cross the 1/4 with 50 then answer 200..
  x=200 rupees;
