A) 7000 B) 10000
C) 14000 D) 20000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 10000

Explanation:

Let his monthly salary be 'P'

20% on children's education = 20P100 = P5

50% on food and transport = 50P100 = P2

1000 on rent

=> P - P5 - P2 - 1000 = 2000=> 3P = 30000=> P = 10000

 

Therefore, his monthly salary = Rs. 10,000
