Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Suhani tax rate = 30%
Suhani income = Rs.90000
Ritika tax rate = 40%
Calculation:
According to the question:
⇒ (90000 × 30%) + (y × 40%) = (90000 + y) × 37%
⇒ 27000 + y × 40% = 33,300 + y × 37%
⇒ y × 3% = (33300 - 27000)
⇒ y = (6300 × 100)/3
⇒ y = 210000
∴ The correct answer is 210000.
