A man’s annual income has increased by Rs. 6 lakhs but the tax on income that he has to pay has reduced from 14% to 9%. He now pays Rs.14,000 more income tax. What is his increased income (In Rs. lakhs)? Correct Answer 14 lakhs
Given:
Annual income increased by 6 lakhs
Tax reduced from 14% to 9%
Increase in income tax = Rs.14,000 = 0.14 lakhs
Calculation:
Let the original income of man is Rs. x lakhs
Increased income = (x + 6) lakhs
Tax reduced from 14% to 9%
∴ 9% of (x + 6) – 14% of x = 0.14
x = 8 lakhs
⇒ Increased income = (x + 6) lakhs
⇒ (8 + 6) lakhs = 14 lakhs
∴ His increased income is 14 lakhs
