    C Rs. 5250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 5260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 5280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the monthly salary of A be Rs. ‘x’ Amount spent on food = Rs. 0.35x Amount spent on rent = Rs. 0.20x Amount received by brother = (x – 0.20x – 0.35x) × 0.20 = 0.09x So according to question: => 0.20x – 0.09x = 1650 => 0.11x = 1650 => x = 15000 So, the amount spent on food = 0.35 × 15000 = Rs. 5250
