Solution
The correct option is C ₹450
Given, amount saved = ₹150
Ratio of the money spent to the money saved = 3 : 1
Here, ₹150 is 150 times ₹1.
Therefore, money saved by Ram is 150 times ₹3 which is ₹450.
In other words,
Spending : Saving = 3 : 1= 3 x ₹150 : 1 x ₹150 = ₹450 : ₹150
Given, amount saved = ₹150
Ratio of the money spent to the money saved = 3 : 1
Here, ₹150 is 150 times ₹1.
Therefore, money saved by Ram is 150 times ₹3 which is ₹450.
In other words,
Spending : Saving = 3 : 1= 3 x ₹150 : 1 x ₹150 = ₹450 : ₹150
