Let the income of Mr. Manohar be ₹ x.
. Amount given to elder son = 20% of x
Amount given to younger son = 30% of x
Total amount given to both sons = (20 + 30)% of x =50% of x
∴ Amount remaining with Mr. Manohar = (100 – 50)% of x
= 50% of x 50
= \(\frac{50}{100}\)× 100
= 0.5 x
He gave 10% of the balance income as donation to a school.
Amount donated to school = 10% of 0.5x
= \(\frac{10}{100}\) × 0.5x
= 0.05x
∴ Amount remaining with Mr. Manohar after donating to school = 0.5x – 0.05x
= 0.45x
Mr. Manohar still had 1,80,000 for himself after donating to school.
∴ 180000 = 0.45x
∴ \(x = \cfrac{180000}{0.45} \) = \( \cfrac{180000\times100}{0.45\times 100} \) = \(\cfrac{18000000}{45} \) = 400000
∴ The income of Mr. Manoliar is ₹4,00,000.
