c. ₹12,500
d. ₹15,000​

Answer 1

Answer:

12500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let father's monthly income = 'x' rupees.

(i)

He gives 1% of his monthly income.

Total money given out = 1% of x

                                      = (x/100)

(ii)

The elder sons get 80% of total amount.

Then,

Amount elder sons gets = (100 - 80)% of Total money

= 20% of (x/100)

= (20x/10000)

= (x/500)

It is said that,

He spends 80% of his share and saves 20 per month.

=> (80/100) * (x/500) = 20

=> (80x/50000) = 20

=> 80x = 1000000

=> x = 12500

Therefore,

Father's monthly Income = 12500.

Hope it helps!
