Correct Answer: 3,500


Solution : Let the total income be $100x$
Now, Percentage of income for travelling = $15\%$ of $100x = 15x$
Remaining income = $100x-15x=85x$
Percentage spent on food = 20% of the remaining amount after spending on travel = $20\%$ of $85x =17x$
Remaining income after spending on food and travelling = $85x-17x=68x$
Amount spent on donation and savings = $2000+380=2380$
So, $68x=2380$
⇒ $x=35$
Her income = $100x=100\times 35 = 3500$
Hence, the correct answer is 3,500.
