10% saving = 10000 x (10/100) = Rs. 1000
This year 5% more income than prev year = Rs. 10500

Explanation:
Let K = Kalyan's monthly salary
N = Nandu's monthly salary
S = Sarnesh's monthly salary.
Then from given data,
12% of K = 16% of N
S = N/2 => N = 2S
K = 16/12 x N = 16/12 x 2S
= 16/6 x 1.08/12 = 16/6 x 0.09 = 0.24 lacs = 24,000
Correct Answer: 209
Explanation:
Given 21% of 500 + 31% of 1100 - 30% of 790 = ?
? = 21 x 5 + 31 x 11 - 3 x 79
? = 105 + 341 - 237
? = 446 - 237
? = 209.
Correct Answer: Rs. 87400
Explanation:
Let the total amount he had with = Rs. p
From the given data,
p - 38460 - 24468 = 28p/100
p - 28p/100 = 24468 + 38460
72p/100 = 62928
72p = 62928 x 100
p = 62928 x 100/72
p = 87400
Hence, the total amount he had = p = Rs. 87400.
