Answer & Explanation

S1. Ans.(b) 

Sol.  We know that,

Net salary = Basic salary + Total allowance – Total deduction

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

= 10% of 21800 + 4720 = 2180 + 4720 = 6900

Net salary = 21800 + 28600 – 6900 = Rs. 43500

S2. Ans.(d)

Sol. Let the basic salary of Q be Rs. x

∴ Total allowance of Q is Rs. (x + 3000)

Net salary = Basic salary + Total allowance – Total deduction

⇒ 25850 = x + x + 3000 – 4350

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

⇒ 2x = 27200

⇒ x = Rs. 13600

∴ Total allowance of Q is 13600 + 3000 = Rs. 16600.

S3. Ans.(b)

Sol. Let the PF deduction and other deduction of S be 7x and 13x

It is given that, 10% of 11200 = PF deduction

⇒ 10/100×11200 = PF deduction

⇒ PF deduction = Rs. 1120

∴ Other deduction of S =13x/7x×1120 = Rs. 2080

S5. Ans.(b)

Sol. Total deduction of T = PF deduction + 4000

Let the basic salary of T be Rs. x

So, 5700 = 10% of x + 4000

⇒ x/10 = 5700 – 4000

⇒ x/10=1700

⇒ x = Rs. 17000

Net salary = 17000 + 21600 – 5700 = 38600 – 5700 = Rs. 32900
