Correct Answer: INR 9,800
Solution :
Let his total salary be Rs. $x$.
Salary spent on children's education = $\frac{27x}{100}$
Salary donated to the trust = $\frac{4x}{100}$
According to the question,
$\frac{27x}{100} + \frac{4x}{100} = 3038$
⇒ $31x = 303800$
$\therefore x = 9800$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 9,800.
