- Sonu Kumar spends 42% of his monthly income on food, 16% on rent, 10% on entertainment, and 7% on travelling.

- Total percentage of income spent on these = 42% + 16% + 10% + 7% = 75%.

- He needed Rs. 18,000 for a family function.

- He took a loan of Rs. 12,500, meaning he used Rs. 18,000 - Rs. 12,500 = Rs. 5,500 from his savings.

- This Rs. 5,500 is the remaining 25% (as 100% - 75% spent on other expenses).

- Therefore, 25% of his income is Rs. 5,500.

- Monthly income = Rs. 5,500 / 0.25 = Rs. 22,000.
