Question


A person spent 20% of the salary on movies and 10% on petrol. He spent 20% of the remaining on the food and 50% of the remaining invested in the SIP and remaining he gave to his wife. If the amount he spent on movie and petrol together is Rs. 9000, then find the amount he gave to his wife?

A.

Rs. 8400

B.

Rs. 8000

C.

Rs. 7400

D.

Rs. 8450

E.

Rs. 7490

Correct option is A


Let the salary of the person be 100x
Salary spent on Movie and petrol = (10+20)% of 100x=30x
Salary on food = 20% of (100x-30x)=14x
remaining salary = 70x – 14x = 56x
Salary invested on SIP = 50% of 56x=28x
Amount given to wife = 28/30×9000=Rs. 8400
