Q)

A man spends 25 of his income on house rent, 310 on food and 18 on conveyance. If he has ₹ 2800 left with him, find his expenditure on food and conveyance together.


  • Explanation

    Let consider the monthly income = x

    Amount spend on house rent = 2x5

    Amount spend on food = 3x10

    Amount spend on conveyance =x8

    After expenditure, the left amount = 2800

    According to the question,

    = x-2x5+3x10+x8=2800=x-16x+12x+5x40=2800=x-33x40=2800=(40x-33x)40= 2800=7x40=2800= 7x=2800×40=x=2800×407=x=400×40=x=16000

    Expenditure on food=3×1600010=4800

    Expenditure on conveyance =x8=1×160008=2000

    Expenditure on food and conveyance together

    = (4800+2000) = 6800

    Hence, Option D is correct.
