Just concentrate on the remaining part at every step. Firstly she spends 1/7th of his income, implies he is left with 6/7th of his income. Then he spends 1/5th of that, means he saves 4/5th of that. After this she spends 1/3rd of the remaining, means he saves 2/3rd of that. In total she saves 2/3rd of 4/5th of 6/7th i.e. 2/3 × 4/5 × 6/7 of the total which is given to be 4800. Now 48/105 x = 4800 i.e. x = Rs. 10500.
