The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will follow the logical deductions based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Define Ridhi's Monthly Salary Let Ridhi's monthly salary be represented as \( S \). For ease of calculation, we can express it as \( S = 100x \), where \( x \) is a variable that will help us simplify the percentages. ### Step 2: Calculate Ridhi's Expenses Ridhi spends \( 34\% \) of her salary on various expenses. Therefore, the amount spent on expenses is: \[ \text{Expenses} = 34\% \text{ of } S = \frac{34}{100} \times S = 34x \] ### Step 3: Calculate Remaining Amount After Expenses The remaining amount after expenses can be calculated as: \[ \text{Remaining} = S - \text{Expenses} = 100x - 34x = 66x \] ### Step 4: Distribute the Remaining Amount From the remaining amount, Ridhi gives: - \( \frac{1}{6} \) to her brother - \( \frac{2}{3} \) to her sister Calculating the amounts given: - Amount to brother: \[ \text{Brother's Share} = \frac{1}{6} \times 66x = 11x \] - Amount to sister: \[ \text{Sister's Share} = \frac{2}{3} \times 66x = 44x \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Difference Between Sister's and Brother's Amounts According to the problem, the difference between the amounts given to her sister and brother is ₹10,560: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Sister's Share} - \text{Brother's Share} = 44x - 11x = 33x \] Setting this equal to ₹10,560 gives us: \[ 33x = 10,560 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \) To find \( x \), we divide both sides by 33: \[ x = \frac{10,560}{33} = 320 \] ### Step 7: Calculate Ridhi's Savings Now, we can calculate Ridhi's savings. The total amount given to her brother and sister is: \[ \text{Total Given} = 11x + 44x = 55x \] The savings can be calculated as: \[ \text{Savings} = \text{Remaining} - \text{Total Given} = 66x - 55x = 11x \] Substituting the value of \( x \): \[ \text{Savings} = 11 \times 320 = 3520 \] ### Final Answer Ridhi's savings amount to ₹3,520. ---
