Correct Answer: Rs. 42,500
Solution :
Let Anjali's salary be S.
Anjali decided to spend 45% of her salary on shopping.
The amount she decided to spend = 0.45S
Given that she spent only Rs. 11,475, which was 60% of what she had decided to spend.
⇒ 0.60 × 0.45S = 11475
⇒ 0.27S = 11475
⇒ S = 42500
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 42,500.
