Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The monthly income is ₹ 30,000. The labelled sectors add to 20 + 15 + 18 + 20 + 12 = 85%, so saving is 100 − 85 = 15% of income. Then 15% of income = ₹ 4,500 gives income = 4,500 ÷ 0.15 = ₹ 30,000. Reading saving as 10% gives ₹ 45,000, and as 18% or 22.5% gives ₹ 25,000 or ₹ 20,000.
