A Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio 4:2:5. Clothes part is 2/11 of 55% of income. (2/11) * 0.55 * Income = 5,540. 0.1 * Income = 5,540. Income = 55,400.

AI explanation

The expenditures on groceries, clothes and education are in the ratio 4 : 2 : 5, meaning the 2 parts representing clothes equal Rs. 5,540; thus, 1 part equals Rs. 2,770. The total expenditure across all 11 parts (4 + 2 + 5) is 11 * 2770 = Rs. 30,470. This total expenditure represents 55% of Kajal's monthly income, so her total income is 30470 / 0.55 = Rs. 55,400.
