The correct Answer is:
To find Priyanka's income, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the total income Let Priyanka's total income be represented as \( X \). ### Step 2: Calculate the fractions of income spent 1. **Clothes**: She spends \( \frac{2}{15}X \) on clothes. 2. **Entertainment**: She spends \( \frac{1}{9}X \) on entertainment. 3. **Rent**: She spends \( \frac{4}{15}X \) on rent. 4. **Food**: She spends \( \frac{1}{3}X \) on food. ### Step 3: Find a common denominator To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The denominators are 15, 9, and 3. The least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers is 45. ### Step 4: Convert each fraction to have the common denominator 1. **Clothes**: \( \frac{2}{15}X = \frac{2 \times 3}{15 \times 3}X = \frac{6}{45}X \) 2. **Entertainment**: \( \frac{1}{9}X = \frac{1 \times 5}{9 \times 5}X = \frac{5}{45}X \) 3. **Rent**: \( \frac{4}{15}X = \frac{4 \times 3}{15 \times 3}X = \frac{12}{45}X \) 4. **Food**: \( \frac{1}{3}X = \frac{1 \times 15}{3 \times 15}X = \frac{15}{45}X \) ### Step 5: Add all the expenditures Now, we can add all the fractions: \[ \text{Total Expenditure} = \frac{6}{45}X + \frac{5}{45}X + \frac{12}{45}X + \frac{15}{45}X = \frac{6 + 5 + 12 + 15}{45}X = \frac{38}{45}X \] ### Step 6: Calculate the remaining amount Priyanka saves the remaining amount, which is ₹10,500. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ X - \frac{38}{45}X = 10,500 \] ### Step 7: Simplify the equation This can be simplified to: \[ \frac{7}{45}X = 10,500 \] ### Step 8: Solve for \( X \) To find \( X \), multiply both sides by \( \frac{45}{7} \): \[ X = 10,500 \times \frac{45}{7} \] ### Step 9: Calculate the value Calculating this gives: \[ X = 10,500 \times \frac{45}{7} = 67,500 \] ### Conclusion Priyanka's total income is ₹67,500. ---
