Question

Twelve percent of Kaushal's monthly salary is equal to sixteen percent of Nandini's monthly salary. Suresh's monthly salary is half that of Nandini's monthly salary. If Suresh's annual salary is ₹1.08 lakh, what is Kaushal' s monthly salary?

Options

• ₹20000

• ₹18000

• ₹26000

• ₹24000

Answer 1

₹24000
Explanation :
∵ Suresh's annual salary = ₹ 1.08 lakh 

∴ Suresh's monthly salary = `108000/12` = ₹ 9000

⇒ Nandini's monthly salary = 9000 x 2 = ₹ 8000

Now, 12% of Kaushal's monthly salary

= 16% of 18000 = `(16xx18000)/100`

⇒ Kaushal's monthly salary = `(16xx18000)/100xx100/2`

                                             = ₹ 24000
