Let Ravi’s total monthly saving be ₹ $x.$

  • Ravi’s Invested in fixed deposits $ = \frac{50}{100}\times x = \frac{x}{2} $
  • Ravi’s rest savings $ =  x- \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x}{2}$
  • Ravi Invested in stocks $ = \frac{30}{100}\times\frac{x}{2} = \frac{3x}{20}$
  • Ravi’s saving bank account $ =  \left(\frac{x}{2} – \frac{3x}{20}\right) = \frac{7x}{20}$

Total amount deposited by him in the bank (for the savings account and the fixed deposits) $ =  \frac{7x}{20}  + \frac{x}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{17x}{20} = 59500$

 $\Rightarrow  \boxed{ x = ₹\;70000}.$


$\textbf{Short Method:}$ Let Ravi’s total monthly saving be ₹ $100.$

  • Ravi’s Invested in fixed deposits $ = \frac{50}{100}\times 100 = 50 $
  • Ravi’s rest savings $ =  100-50 = 50$
  • Ravi Invested in stocks $ = \frac{30}{100}\times 50 = 15$
  • Ravi’s saving bank account $ =  50-15 = 35$

Total amount deposited by him in the bank (for the savings account and fixed deposits) $ = 35 + 50$

  • $85 \longrightarrow 59500$
  • $100 \longrightarrow \dfrac{59500}{85} \times 100 = ₹\;70000.$

Correct Answer $:\text{D}$
