The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the salaries of the brother, sister, and wife based on the given information. ### Step 1: Calculate Brother's Salary - My salary = Rs. 12,345 - Brother's salary is 10% greater than mine. \[ \text{Brother's Salary} = \text{My Salary} + 10\% \text{ of My Salary} \] \[ \text{Brother's Salary} = 12,345 + \left(\frac{10}{100} \times 12,345\right) \] \[ \text{Brother's Salary} = 12,345 + 1,234.5 = 13,579.5 \] ### Step 2: Calculate Sister's Salary - Sister's salary is 9.09% greater than the brother's salary. \[ \text{Sister's Salary} = \text{Brother's Salary} + 9.09\% \text{ of Brother's Salary} \] \[ \text{Sister's Salary} = 13,579.5 + \left(\frac{9.09}{100} \times 13,579.5\right) \] \[ \text{Sister's Salary} = 13,579.5 + 1,234.5 = 14,814.88 \] ### Step 3: Calculate Total Salary of Brother and Sister - Total Salary = Brother's Salary + Sister's Salary \[ \text{Total Salary} = 13,579.5 + 14,814.88 = 28,394.38 \] ### Step 4: Calculate Wife's Salary - Wife's salary is \(56 \frac{12}{23}\%\) less than the total salary of brother and sister. First, convert \(56 \frac{12}{23}\%\) to a decimal: \[ 56 \frac{12}{23} = 56 + \frac{12}{23} = \frac{56 \times 23 + 12}{23} = \frac{1288 + 12}{23} = \frac{1300}{23} \approx 56.52\% \] - Thus, the percentage of the total salary that the wife receives is: \[ 100\% - 56.52\% = 43.48\% \] - Now calculate the wife’s salary: \[ \text{Wife's Salary} = 43.48\% \text{ of Total Salary} \] \[ \text{Wife's Salary} = \left(\frac{43.48}{100} \times 28,394.38\right) \] \[ \text{Wife's Salary} \approx 12,345.00 \] ### Final Answer The salary of my wife is approximately Rs. 12,345. ---
