  • D. Rs. 28000

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 28000 

    Explanation

    Let the monthly salary of Shankar be = Rs.x
    Amount invested on expenditure = 25% = x/4;
    Remaning amount = 3x/4;
    Amount invested on children education = 20% i.e = 3x/20;
    Remaining amount = 3x/4 - 3x/20 = 3x/5;
    Remaining amount invested in three different schemes i.e is 1/3(3x/5)
    => x/5 = 5600
    Therefore x = 28000
    Hence, Monthly salary of Shankar is Rs. 28,000.
