Answer 2

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the salary of a person be x.

A person spends 35% of his salary on food, 10% on house rent, 15% on entertainment.

Remaining amount = $x-\dfrac{35}{100}x-\dfrac{10}{100}x-\dfrac{15}{100}x=\dfrac{40}{100}x=0.4x$

15% of the remaining on conveyance.

$Saving =0.4x-\times (0.4x)\times\dfrac{15}{100}$

$Saving =0.4x-0.06x$

$Saving =0.34x$

Savings at the end of the month is rs. 17000.

$0.34x=17000$

Divide both sides by 0.34.

$x=\dfrac{17000}{0.34}$

$x=50000$

Therefore, the correct option is 4.
