The correct Answer is:
To find the salary of the officer, we will follow the steps outlined in the video transcript. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Assume the Salary Let the salary of the officer be represented as `S`. For ease of calculation, we can assume that the salary is 200 units. ### Step 2: Calculate House Rent Deduction The officer has a deduction of 10% for house rent. - House Rent = 10% of S - House Rent = 10% of 200 units = 20 units ### Step 3: Calculate Remaining Salary After House Rent Now, we subtract the house rent from the total salary. - Remaining Salary = S - House Rent - Remaining Salary = 200 units - 20 units = 180 units ### Step 4: Calculate Education Expenses The officer spends 15% of the remaining salary on children's education. - Education Expenses = 15% of Remaining Salary - Education Expenses = 15% of 180 units = 27 units ### Step 5: Calculate Remaining Salary After Education Expenses Now, we subtract the education expenses from the remaining salary. - Remaining Salary = Remaining Salary - Education Expenses - Remaining Salary = 180 units - 27 units = 153 units ### Step 6: Calculate Clothing Expenses The officer spends 10% of the remaining salary on clothes. - Clothing Expenses = 10% of Remaining Salary - Clothing Expenses = 10% of 153 units = 15.3 units ### Step 7: Calculate Final Remaining Salary Now, we subtract the clothing expenses from the remaining salary. - Final Remaining Salary = Remaining Salary - Clothing Expenses - Final Remaining Salary = 153 units - 15.3 units = 137.7 units ### Step 8: Set Up the Equation According to the problem, after all these deductions, the officer is left with Rs. 1,377. - Final Remaining Salary = 137.7 units = 1,377 Rs. ### Step 9: Find the Value of One Unit To find the value of one unit, we set up the equation: - 137.7 units = 1,377 Rs - 1 unit = 1,377 Rs / 137.7 = 10 Rs ### Step 10: Calculate the Salary Now, we can find the actual salary by multiplying the assumed units by the value of one unit. - Salary = 200 units * 10 Rs/unit = 2,000 Rs ### Conclusion Therefore, the salary of the officer is **Rs. 2,000**. ---
