Q:

On retirement, a woman gets Rs. 1,45,440 of her provident fund which she invests in a scheme at 20% per annum. Her monthly income from this scheme will be

A) Rs. 2550 B) Rs. 2424
C) Rs. 2224 D) Rs. 2380

Now monthly income I = PTR/100 = 1,45,440 x 20 x 1/100 x 12

= 2908800/1200

= Rs. 2424.

 

Hence, her monthly income = Rs. 2424.
