Rohit saves 12% of his income in a bank, which is Rs. 1440 in 1997. If his current salary is 10 times more than the salary in 1997 and still he saves the same percentage of his salary. What is the difference between saving in 1997 and now? Correct Answer Rs. 12960
Calculation:
Let the salary if Rohit in 1997 = x
Then, 12% of x = 1440
⇒ x = (1440 × 100)/12 = Rs. 12000
Rohit’s current salary is 10 times of old salary = 10 × 12000 = Rs. 120000
Now, 12% of Rs. 120000 = (12 × 120000)/100 = Rs. 14400
Difference between current salary and old salary = Rs. 14400 – Rs. 1440 = Rs. 12960
∴ Required Difference between salaries = Rs. 12960
