    ₹1200

    B.

    ₹1143.8

    C.

    ₹1300

    D.

    ₹1144.5

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    A person lost money =18%

    He spent money of the remaining = 87%

    He left with ₹122

    Solution:

    Let the person had money = xx​​

    Then he lost 18% of x=0.18x18\% \ of \ x = 0.18x​​

    Remaining money = x0.18x=0.82xx - 0.18x =0.82x​​

    He spent 87% of the remaining = 87% of 0.82x

    He is left with 0.82x - 87% of 0.82x = 122

    0.82x=0.7134x=1220.82x = 0.7134x = 122​​

    0.1066x=1220.1066x =122​​

    x=1220.1066=1144.4651144.5x= \frac{122}{0.1066} =₹1144.465 \approx₹1144.5​​
