  • Options
  • A. Rs. 2558.60
  • B. Rs. 2525
  • C. Rs. 2500
  • D. Rs. 2300

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 2525 

    Explanation

    Let his income be Rs. N, then N - 5% of N - 20% of 95% of N = 1919
    ? N - N/20 - (20 x 95 x N)/(100 x 100) = 1919
    ? N - N/20 - 19N/100 = 1919
    ? 100N - 5N - 9N = 191900
    ? N = 191900 / 76 = 2525
