Solution

The correct option is A 4800
Cost of Parker pen=Rs.715
Percentage of pocket money spent on pen=55%
Let, the money Suraj initially had be X
So, Percentage of pocket money spent on pen=Cost of Parker pen
$\frac{55}{100} \times X = 715$
$55 X = 715 \times 100$
X= $\frac{71500}{55}$
X=1300
Therefore,the total amount he initially had=X=Rs.1300
