• A. 4800
• B. 2400
• C. 1200
• D. 1000

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1200

Cost of Reynolds pen= Rs.480
Percentage of pocket money spent on pen=40%
Let,the pocket money Siraj had initially be X
So,Percentage of pocket money spent on pen=Cost of Reynolds pen
$\frac{40}{100}\times X$=480
40X=$480\times 100$
X=$\frac{48000}{40}$
X=Rs.1200
Therfore,the total amount he is left with=The pocket money Siraj had initially(X)-Cost of Reynolds pen =1200-480 = Rs.720
