Given:

Suhani tax rate = 30%

Suhani income = Rs.90000

Ritika tax rate = 40%

Calculation:

According to the question:

⇒ (90000 × 30%) + (y × 40%) = (90000 + y) × 37%

⇒ 27000 + y × 40% = 33,300 + y × 37%

⇒ y × 3% = (33300 - 27000)

⇒ y = (6300 × 100)/3

⇒ y = 210000

∴ The correct answer is 210000.
