Q:

Twenty percent of Karthik’s monthly salary is equal to thirty two percent of Nikitha’s monthly salary. Vipin’s monthly salary is four fifth that of Nikitha’s monthly salary. If Vipin’s annual salary is Rs. 3.84 lakhs, what is Karthik’s monthly salary?

A) 32,000 B) 64,000
C) 40,000 D) 52,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 64,000

Explanation:

From the given data,

20% of K = 32% of N

V = 4/5 N

 

Given Vipin's salary = 3.84 lpa = 3.84/12 = 32,000 per month

Now, N = 5/4 x 32000 = 40000

Now K = 32/20 x 40000 = 64000

 

Hence, karthik's monthly salary = Rs. 64000.
