Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Wage replacement ratio is the ratio of a person's gross income after retirement divided by his gross income before retirement.

We use the given information to asses his spending on his lifestyle

Salary = 100000

Saving = 15% of 100000 = 15000

Mortgage payment = 2350

The amount spent on lifestyle = 100000 - 15000 - 2350

= 82650

Thus considering only the available information

Wage replacement ratio = 82650/100000 = 82.65%

Hence,

among the given option

Jack must have 80% wage replacement ratio
