- Bhavani spends 15% of her monthly income on her kid's education.

- She allocates 20% of her income to food.

- The remaining amount after education and food expenses is (100% - 15% - 20%) = 65% of the income.

- Of this remaining 65%, she spends 40% on sports: 0.4 * 65% = 26% of her total income.

- She also spends 30% of the remaining on transport: 0.3 * 65% = 19.5% of her total income.

- Therefore, the total expenditure as a percentage of her income is 15% + 20% + 26% + 19.5% = 80.5%.

- She is left with 19.5% of her original income, which amounts to Rs.10,257.

- Let X be Bhavani's monthly income: 0.195X = 10,257. Solving: X = 10,257 / 0.195 = Rs. 52,600.

- This matches Option 3: Rs.52,600.
