Correct Answer: Rs. 10,000


Solution : Let Christy's income be 100 units.
After depositing 10%, he had left = (100 – 10) = 90 units
After depositing 20% of the remaining,
Amount left = $90×\frac{80}{100} = 72$ units
According to the question,
72 units = Rs. 7200
$\therefore$ 1 unit = ($\frac{7200}{72})$ = Rs. 100
So, Christy's income (100 Units) = (100 × 100) = Rs. 10,000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 10,000.
