    Solution

    Let the monthly savings and monthly income of Prashant be Rs. 7b and Rs 25b respectively.
    ATQ:
    4 X 7b = 26,600
    Or, 28b = 26,600
    Or, 'b' = 950
    Monthly expenditure = 25b - 7b = 18b = 18 X 950 = Rs. 17,100
    Monthly expenditure on others = 17,100 X 0.8 X 0.75 X 0.6 X 0.25 = Rs. 1,539
    Therefore, required expenditure = 5 X 1,539 = Rs. 7,695
