Explanation:
Sure, let's walk through it:
- Income of A: 30% less than B. This means if B's income is Rs X, then A's income is 70% of X.
- Income of B: 137.5% more than C. If C's income is Rs Y, then B's income is 237.5% of Y.
- Given condition: A's income is Rs 28,500 less than B's income.
Equations:
1. A's income = 0.7B = B - 28,500
2. B's income = 2.375C
Substitute B's income from equation 2 into equation 1:
0.7(2.375C) = 2.375C - 28,500
Solve for C:
1.6625C = 2.375C - 28,500
0.7125C = 28,500
C = 28,500 / 0.7125
C = 40,000
- Correct option: Option 4: 40,000
