The incomplete graph shows Dinesh's savings from January to April. Dinesh saved a total of Rs. 730 during the four months. The amount of money saved in February was as much as that saved in March. How much did he save in March?

• A. Rs.$245$
• B. Rs.$275$
• C. Rs.$250$
• D. Rs.$295$

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs.$245$

From the given graph, Dinesh saved a total of $160$ rupees during January month and

An amount of $80$ rupees during April month.

Let the savings in February be $x$ rupees.

Given that, that amount of money saved in March and February are same.

Therefore, savings in March month $=x$ rupees.

Given that, the total amount saved in 4 months $=730$ rupees.

$⟹160+x+x+80=730$

$⟹240+2x=730$

$⟹2x=730-240=490$

$⟹x=\frac{490}{2}=245$

Therefore, savings in March month $=245$ rupees.
