Q:

The annual salary of Arun is 7.68 lac. If he spends Rs. 12000 on his children, 1/13th of rest of the salary on food and Rs. 8000 in mutual funds, then find the monthly saving he is left with?

A) Rs. 38000/- B) Rs. 39500/-
C) Rs. 40000/- D) Rs. 41250/-
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 40000/-

Explanation:

Annual salary of Arun = 7,68,000 Rs.
Monthly salary = 7,68,000/12 = Rs. 64,000
Spending on children = Rs. 12,000
Rest = 52,000
1/13th of the rest = 52,000/13 = Rs. 4,000 is spent on food.
Rs. 8,000 is spent in mutual funds.
Monthly savings = 64,000 - (12,000+4,000+8,000) = Rs. 40,000.

Sum of series = (p2-p1) + (p3-p2) + .....(p23-p22) + (p24-p23)
All terms get cancelled, except p1 = 2 and p24 = 89
So Sum = -p1 + p24
Sum of series = -2 + 89 = 87
