B4000 ✓ Correct
C4250
D4160
Correct answer: (B) 4000 — His monthly income is Rs 4000, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★His monthly income is Rs 4000, so that is the answer.
★If he saves 12.5 per cent of his income, he spends the other 87.5 per cent.
★The amount spent, Rs 3500, is 87.5 per cent of his income.
★So his income is 3500 divided by 0.875.
★That equals 4000.
★So his monthly income is Rs 4000.
