Directions (16-20): Study the table and answer the given questions.

Data related to salary structure of five individuals from different organizations for the month of April

(i) Total deduction = Provident Fund Deduction (which is 10% of basic salary) + other deductions

(ii) Net salary = Basic salary + Total allowance – Total deduction

(iii) Few values are missing in the table (indicated by). A candidate is expected to calculate the missing value, if it is required to answer the given question, on the basis of the given data and information.

16. If other deductions of A were Rs. 9440, then what was his net salary?

a) Rs. 92500

b) Rs. 83500

c) Rs. 87000

d) Rs. 91500

e) Rs. 92000

Answer: (c)

Explanation: We know that,

Net salary = Basic salary + Total allowance – Total deduction

Total deduction = PF deduction (10% of basic salary) + other deduction

= 10% of 43600 + 9440 = 4360 + 9440 = 13800

Net salary = 43600 + 57200 – 13800 = Rs. 87000

17. If B’s total allowance was Rs. 6000 more than his basic salary, what was his total allowance?

a) Rs. 37000

b) Rs. 37500

c) Rs. 36000

d) Rs. 36600

e) Rs. 33200

Answer: (e)

Explanation: Let the basic salary of B be Rs. x

∴ Total allowance of B is Rs. (x + 6000)

Net salary = Basic salary + Total allowance – Total deduction

⇒ 25850 = x + x + 6000 – 8700

⇒ 51700 = 2x – 1350 ⇒ 2x = 25850 + 1350

⇒ 2x = 54400

⇒ x = Rs. 27200

∴ Total allowance of B is 27200 + 6000 = Rs. 33200.

18. If the respective ratio of Provident Fund deduction and other deductions of D was 7 : 13, then what was D’s other deduction?

a) Rs. 4160

b) Rs. 4080

c) Rs. 4120

d) Rs. 4160

e) Rs. 3980

Answer: (d)

Explanation: Let the PF deduction and other deduction of D be 7x and 13x

It is given that, 10% of 22400 = PF deduction

⇒ 10/100×22400 = PF deduction

⇒ PF deduction = Rs. 2240

∴ Other deduction of D =13x/7x×2240 = Rs. 4160

20. Basic salary of D is approximately what per cent more than the basic salary of C?

a) 8%

b) 9%

c) 10%

d) 12%

e) None of these

Answer: (a)

Explanation:

20. If other deductions of E were Rs. 8000, what was his net salary?

a) Rs. 72500

b) Rs. 72900

c) Rs. 69700

d) Rs. 72700

e) Rs. 65800

Answer: (e)

Explanation: Total deduction of T = PF deduction + 8000

Let the basic salary of T be Rs. x

So, 11400 = 10% of x + 8000

⇒ x/10 = 11400 – 8000

⇒ x/10=3400

⇒ x = Rs. 34000

Net salary = 34000 + 43200 – 11400 = 38600 – 5700 = Rs. 65800
