    Solution

    ATQ, Let the income of Ramesh be Rs. '100c'. Money spent by Ramesh = 0.4 × 100c = Rs. '40c' Money received by his wife = (3/7) × (100c - 40c) = Rs. '30c' Money received by his children = (4/7) × (100c - 40c) = Rs. '60c' Money received by his son = (3/4) × 60c = Rs. '45c' ATQ, 45c = 3600 Or, 'c' = 80 Therefore, money spent by Ramesh = Rs. '40c' = Rs. (40 × 80) = Rs. 3,200
