Correct Answer: Rs. 96000


Solution : Let the total income be 100 units.
Remaining amount after spending = 100 – (25 + 15 + 45) = 15 units
According to the question,
15 units = Rs. 14400
1 unit = $\frac{14400}{15}$
Then, total income = 100 units = $100×\frac{14400}{15}$ = Rs. 96000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 96000.
