(D) 180​

Answer 1

Answer:(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming Achyut income as RS100

Now, his savings=70 (30%of100)

Ranjits savings= 45 (150%of 70)

So when we look, Ranjits income must be atleast 45.

Total income =100+45= 145 which means it cannot be less than 145…

Answer 2

Answer:

C.) 120 ✓

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• The savings of Achyut are 30% of his earnings while the savings of Ranjit are 150% of the savings of Achyut.

To find:

The combined earnings of Achyut and Ranjit as a percentage of Achyut's earnings cannot be:

• (A) 150
• (B) 160
• (C) 120
• (D) 180

Solution:

Let the Achyut's earnings be Rs. 100.

Now, we know that the savings of Achyut are 30% of his earnings.

• Savings of Achyut = 30% of 100
• Savings of Achyut = 30/100 × 100
• Savings of Achyut = Rs. 30

Then, the savings of Ranjit are 150% of the savings of Achyut.

• Savings of Ranjit = 150% of 30
• Savings of Ranjit = 150/100 × 30
• Savings of Ranjit = 15 × 3
• Savings of Ranjit = Rs. 45

Then,

• There combined income should be = 100 + 45
• There combined income should be = Rs. 145

So, we got savings of Ranjit as Rs. 45, so his income should be greater than Rs. 45.

So, there combined income should be greater than Rs. 145 that means it should not be less than 145.

So, The combined earnings of Achyut and Ranjit as a percentage of Achyut's earnings cannot be 120.

( Others are greater than 145, so they can be possible ).
