Answer 2

Suppose his salary is X
10% deducted as house rent so remaining is 0.9X
20% of the rest (rest is 0.9X) spends on conveyance so remaining will be 0.9X - 0.2(0.9X) = 0.72X
20% of the rest (now the rest is 0.72X) pays as tax so new remaining is 0.72X - 0.2(0.72X) = 0.576X
10% he spends on clothes so new remaining 0.576X - 0.1(0.576X) = 0.5184X
Now, he is left with Rs. 15552
So, 15552= 0.5184X
So, X = 15552/0.5184 = 30000

So his total salary is Rs. 30000
