Correct Answer: INR 2,10,000
Solution :
Given:
Suhani tax rate = 30%
Suhani income = INR 90,000
Ritika tax rate = 40%
According to the question:
(30% of 90000) + (40% of y) = 37% of (90000 + y)
⇒ 3% of y = (33300 – 27000)
⇒ y = $\frac{(6300 × 100)}{3}$
⇒ y = INR 2,10,000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 2,10,000.
