Mr. Alex is a private employee and earns a fixed salary every month. While filing his income tax returns in a financial year, the accountant noticed the following.
Tax is always calculated on the income after deductions, if any. The deductions are as follows.
(i) The standard deduction is one-third of the annual salary.
(ii) Mr. Alex donates `40,000 to the PM's National Relief Fund which gives 100% exemption.
After allowing the deductions, the remaining income is taxed, which is the tax before rebate. The rate of tax on his taxable income is 20%. As he saves `35,000 towards CPF (Contributory Provident Fund) and `25,000 towards PPF (Public Provident Fund), and 20% of each can be deducted (rebate) from the tax calculated before rebate. This is the tax after rebate.

(A) 13.3% (B) 16.4% (C) 20.5% (D) 22.6%
3. If Mr. Alex is a senior citizen and he is eligible for an additional rebate of `20,000 which can be deducted from the tax before rebate, then what was the annual salary of Mr. Alex (in `), all other things remaining the same?
(A) 1050000 (B) 1035500 (C) 999500 (D) 998000
4. If his savings in CPF and PPF fetches 10% interest and the tax on the interest earned is 16.66% and the tax paid by him included the tax due to this interest, then find the difference between the salary of Mr. Alex in this case with his annual salary calculated before without considering the tax on interest, assuming all other things remain the same?
