    Solution

    Spending: The total interest received by Ankita is calculated as (180,000 * 15 * 2)/100 = Rs. 54,000. Ankita spends 30% + 20% = 50% of the total interest on electronics and decor together, which amounts to (50/100) * 54,000 = Rs. 27,000. The remaining amount spent on traveling is 54,000 - (27,000 + 8000) = Rs. 19,000. To find the percentage Q of the total interest spent on traveling- Q = (19,000 * 100)/54,000, which simplifies to Q = 35. Answer: d)
