    Question

    Suresh spent 25% of his monthly salary on rent, 50% of

    his remaining salary on food and clothes, and saved the rest. If he saved Rs. 9,000 and the amount spent by him on food was 50% more than that on clothes, then find the amount Suresh spent on food.
    A Rs.3,840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.4,880 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.2,700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.6,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the monthly salary of "Suresh" = Rs. ‘x’ ATQ, (x×0.75×0.50)=9000 So, x=24000 Ratio of amount spent on food to amount spent on clothes = 3:2 Therefore, amount that he spent on food =(24000×0.75×0.50× (3/5)) = Rs.2,700
