    D Rs. 18,700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the income of Virat be Rs. '100x' ATQ; Amount spent on rent = 100x X 0.35 = Rs. '35x' Amount spent on groceries = 100x X 0.25 = Rs. '25x' Amount donated by Virat = {100x - 35x - 25x} X 0.25 = Rs. '10x' 10x = 7480 So, 'x' = 748 Therefore, amount spent on groceries by Virat = Rs. '25x' = 748 X 25 = Rs. 18,700
