    Question

    A man loses 25% of his money. After spending 60% of the remaining money, he has ₹360 left. What is the amount of money (in ₹) he originally had?

    A.

    1200

    B.

    1962

    C.

    654

    D.

    2400

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Money loss by man = 25%

    Money spent of the remaining part = 60%

    Money left = ₹360

    Solution:

    Let the money  initially the man had be x

    Then money loss = 25% of x = 0.25x

    Remaining money = x - 0.25x =0.75x

    Money spent by man = 60% of 0.75x = 0.45x

    Money left = 0.75x - 0.45x = 0.30x

    But 0.3x = 360

    x = 3600.3=1200 \frac{360}{0.3} = ₹1200​​
