A man donated 5 % of his income to a charitable organization and deposited 20 % of the remainder in a bank. If he now has Rs. 1919 left, what is his income?

A. Rs. 2558. 60
B. Rs. 2525
C. Rs. 2500
D. Rs. 2300

Let his income be Rs. x.

Then X – 5 % of x – 20 % of 95 % of x = 1919

or x – x/20 – (20×95×x)/(100 × 100) = 1919

or x – x/20 – 19x/100 = 1919

or 100x – 5x – 19x = 191900

X = 191900/76= 2525

Correct Answer: Rs. 2525 ✔
