The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will denote the man's income as \( x \). ### Step 1: Calculate the amount donated to charity The man donated 6% of his income to charity. Therefore, the amount donated can be calculated as: \[ \text{Amount donated} = \frac{6}{100} \times x = 0.06x \] ### Step 2: Calculate the remaining amount after the donation After donating to charity, the remaining amount is: \[ \text{Remaining amount after charity} = x - 0.06x = 0.94x \] ### Step 3: Calculate the amount deposited in the bank The man then deposited 20% of the remaining amount in the bank. The amount deposited in the bank is: \[ \text{Amount deposited} = \frac{20}{100} \times (0.94x) = 0.2 \times 0.94x = 0.188x \] ### Step 4: Calculate the remaining amount after the bank deposit After depositing in the bank, the remaining amount is: \[ \text{Remaining amount after deposit} = 0.94x - 0.188x = 0.752x \] ### Step 5: Set up the equation based on the remaining amount According to the problem, the man is left with Rs. 14,100. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 0.752x = 14,100 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \) To find \( x \), we divide both sides of the equation by 0.752: \[ x = \frac{14,100}{0.752} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x \approx 18,750 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the man's income is Rs. 18,750. ---
