Question

Raju earns $\text{Rs.}34000$ per month. He spends $\frac{1}{4}th$ of his income on food, $\frac{3}{10}th$ of the remainder on house rent and $\frac{5}{21}th$ of the remainder on education of children. How much money is still left with him?

• A. 13100
• B. 13200
• C. 13300
• D. 13600

Answer 1

The correct option is D

13600

Raju's total monthly income $=\text{Rs.}34000$

Raju’s expenses on food $=\frac{1}{4}\times \text{Rs.}34000=\text{Rs.}8500$

Remaining money $=\text{Rs.}34000-\text{Rs.}8500=\text{Rs.}25500$

House rent $=\frac{3}{10}\times \text{Rs.}25500=\text{Rs.}7650$

Now, remaining money $=\text{Rs.}25500–\text{Rs.}7650=\text{Rs.}17850$

Education of children $=\frac{5}{21}\times \text{Rs.}17850=\text{Rs.}4250$

Money left $=\text{Rs.}17850–\text{Rs.}4250=\text{Rs.}13600$
