Correct choice: D

Let the monthly salary of Shankar be = Rs.x Amount invested on expenditure = 25% = x/4; Remaning amount = 3x/4; Amount invested on children education = 20% i.e = 3x/20; Remaining amount = 3x/4 - 3x/20 = 3x/5; Remaining amount invested in three different schemes i.e is 1/3(3x/5) => x/5 = 5600 Therefore x = 28000 Hence, Monthly salary of Shankar is Rs. 28,000.
