Rs32,000

Rs26,000

Rs30,000

- Let's define his monthly salary as Rs \( X \).

- He spends 20% of his salary on food. So, he spends \( 0.2X \) on food.

- Remaining salary after food = \( X - 0.2X = 0.8X \).

- He donates one-fourth of the remaining salary to charity: \( \frac{1}{4} \times 0.8X = 0.2X \) on charity.

- Remaining salary after charity = \( 0.8X - 0.2X = 0.6X \).

- He saves half of the balance after spending on food and charity: \( \frac{1}{2} \times 0.6X = 0.3X \).

- He saves Rs 9,600 per month: \( 0.3X = 9,600 \).

- Solving for \( X \), we get \( X = 9,600 \div 0.3 = 32,000 \).

Option 2: Rs 32,000 is correct.
