The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote Raja's total income as \( x \). ### Step 1: Calculate the amount given to the daughter Raja gives 20% of his income to his daughter. \[ \text{Amount given to daughter} = 20\% \text{ of } x = \frac{20}{100} \times x = 0.2x \] ### Step 2: Calculate the remaining income after giving to the daughter After giving 20% to his daughter, the remaining income is: \[ \text{Remaining income} = x - 0.2x = 0.8x \] ### Step 3: Calculate the amount given to the first son Raja gives 40% of the remaining income to his first son. \[ \text{Amount given to first son} = 40\% \text{ of } 0.8x = \frac{40}{100} \times 0.8x = 0.32x \] ### Step 4: Calculate the remaining income after giving to the first son The remaining income after giving to the first son is: \[ \text{Remaining income} = 0.8x - 0.32x = 0.48x \] ### Step 5: Calculate the amount given to the second son Raja gives 30% of the remaining income to his second son. \[ \text{Amount given to second son} = 30\% \text{ of } 0.48x = \frac{30}{100} \times 0.48x = 0.144x \] ### Step 6: Calculate the remaining income after giving to the second son The remaining income after giving to the second son is: \[ \text{Remaining income} = 0.48x - 0.144x = 0.336x \] ### Step 7: Set the remaining amount equal to Rs 12,600 According to the problem, the remaining amount is Rs 12,600. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 0.336x = 12600 \] ### Step 8: Solve for \( x \) To find Raja's total income, we divide both sides by 0.336: \[ x = \frac{12600}{0.336} \approx 37500 \] ### Conclusion Raja's total income is Rs 37,500. ---
