Answer

70000

Solution

As per the question from CAT 2017 – Quantitative Aptitude – Arithmetic – Percentages, we can assume that,
Total amount of savings as ‘s’
Amount kept in FD = 0.5s
Savings left = 0.5s
Amount kept in stocks = (0.3) * (0.5) * s = 0.15s
Amount kept in Bank Account = (0.7) * (0.5) * s = 0.35s
Amount deposited in the bank = 0.5s + 0.35s = 0.85s = 59500. So, s = 70000.
Answer: 70000
