Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: ₹ 30600
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
We relate three incomes: two individual monthly incomes whose sum equals a third person’s monthly income. The third person’s annual income is provided, so first convert it to monthly, then allocate between Anita and Bina according to the 90% relation.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Express B in terms of A and substitute into the sum to solve for A. Then compute B = 0.9A. This is a basic linear equation in one variable after substitution.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Sum check: 34,000 + 30,600 = 64,600 equals Mr. Sen’s monthly income; annualizing 64,600 * 12 = 7,75,200 as given.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Forgetting to convert annual to monthly, or misapplying the 90% to the combined income rather than to Anita’s income alone.
