Solution

The correct option is A $2400$
The total amount of money with the man = Rs. $x$ .
$\frac{1}{4} x + \frac{1}{3} x + 1000 = x$

$⟹ x - \frac{1}{4} x - \frac{1}{3} x = 1000$

$⟹ \frac{12 x - 3 x - 4 x}{12} = 1000$

$⟹ 5 x = 1000 \times 12$

$x$ = Rs. $2400$

A man has Rs. $x$ with him. He gave $\frac{1}{4}$ th to his wife, $\frac{1}{3}$ rd to his son and Rs. $1000$ to his daughter. Find $x$ .

The correct option is A $2400$
The total amount of money with the man = Rs. $x$ .
$\frac{1}{4} x + \frac{1}{3} x + 1000 = x$

$⟹ x - \frac{1}{4} x - \frac{1}{3} x = 1000$

$⟹ \frac{12 x - 3 x - 4 x}{12} = 1000$

$⟹ 5 x = 1000 \times 12$

$x$ = Rs. $2400$
