• A. $x-1,700$
• B. $x-1,900$
• C. $x+200$
• D. $x-2,100$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $x-1,700$

Option (a).

Given, total money with Savitri = ₹$x$

Money spent on grocery = $₹1,000$

Money spent on clothes = $₹500$

Money spent on education = $₹400$

Money received as gift = $₹200$

Then, money left with her
= ₹($x-1,000-500-400+200)$

= ₹($x-1,900+200)$

= ₹($x-1,700)$
