Solution
Let the annual income = Rs. $x$

=> Total investments in stocks and mutual funds = $\frac{3x}{11} + \frac{x}{4}$
= Rs. $\frac{23x}{44}$
=> Remaining amount = $x - \frac{23x}{44} = \frac{21x}{44}$
Expenditure on domestic needs = $\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{21x}{44} = 2100$
=> $x = \frac{2100 * 44 * 8}{5 * 21}$
=> $x = 7040$
$\therefore$ Annual income = 12 * 7040 = Rs. 84,480
