Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Either statement I and III Income = Rs. 60000 Let amount received by each sister = p Statement I: Amount received by sid’s brother = p + 500 Other expenditure = 16800 Savings = (60/100) × (100/40) × 16800 = 25200 Now, 60000 = 3p + p + 500 + 16800 + 25200 P = Rs. 4375 Percent of money is received by each sister = (4375/60000) × 100 = 7.29% Statement II: Savings = Rs. 25200 Other expenditure = (40/100) × (100/60) × 25200 = Rs. 16800 60000 = 25200 + 16800 + share of three sister + share of brother 3p + share of brother = 18000 Given data is not sufficient to determine the answer. Hence, this statement is redundant to fine the answer. Statement III: Savings = Rs. 25200 Other expenditure = (40/100) × (100/60) × 25200 = Rs. 16800 60000 = 25200 + 16800 + share of three sister + share of brother 4p = 18000 P = Rs. 4500 Percent of money is received by each sister = (4500/60000) × 100 = 7.5% |
