Correct Answer: 400


Solution : Let's denote Aman's monthly income as $x$
Amount given to his father = 30 % of $x$ = 0.30 $x$
Amount remaining income = $x$ − 0.30 × $x$ = 0.70 $x$
The amount given to His daughter = 30 % of 0.70 $x$ = 0.30 × 0.70 × $x$
= 0.21 $x$
The amount is given to his wife = 25 % of 0.70 $x$ = 0.25 × 0.70 × $x$ = 0.175 $x$
Amount Remaining = 0.70 $x$ – (0.21 $x$ + 0.175 $x$) = 0.70 – 0.385 = 0.315 $x$
Amount invested in scheme = 3 × 42000 = 126000
Now, according to the question
0.315 $x$ = 126,000
⇒ $x$ = $\frac{126000}{0.315}$  = 400,000 (400 thousands)
Hence, the correct answer is 400.
