• A. $Rs.24000$
• B. $Rs.25000$
• C. $Rs.200$
• D. $Rs.1000$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$Rs.24000$

Sum left with the man $=18000$

Loss$=25$%

Let he had $x$ money with him.

He lost $25$% and left with $=(100-25)=75$%

So,

$75$% of $x=18000$

$\frac{75}{100}\times x=18000$

$x=\frac{18000\times 100}{75}=24000$

Initial amount he had with him was $=24000$ rupees.

Then,

Option $A$ is correct answer.
