Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Annual salary of Suresh = Rs. 108000

$ \therefore $ Monthly salary $ =\frac{108000}{12}=Rs.,9000 $ Nandini’s monthly salary = Rs. 18000 According to the question, Kaushal’s monthly salary $ \times \frac{12}{100} $ = Nandini’s monthly salary $ \times \frac{16}{100} $ $ K\times \frac{12}{100}=18000\times \frac{16}{100} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ K\times \frac{12}{100}=2880 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ K=\frac{2880\times 100}{12} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ K=Rs.,24000 $
