Solution
Let monthly salary = Rs. $100x$
Amount spent on buying electronic goods = $\frac{18}{100} \times 100x = 18x$
Amount spent on repair work = $\frac{32}{100} \times 100x = 32x$
Amount left = $100x - 18x - 32x = 50x$
Amount invested in fixed deposits = $\frac{42}{100} \times 50x = 21x$
=> Amount left = $50x - 21x = 29x$
Acc to ques,
=> $29x = 12325$
=> $x = \frac{12325}{29} = 425$
=> Monthly salary = 100 * 425 = Rs. 42,500
$\therefore$ Annual salary = 42500 * 12 = Rs. 5,10,000
