    E Rs. 3000 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. 0.30x Amount received by brother = (x – 0.30x – 0.35x) × 0.44 = 0.154x So according to question: => 0.30x – 0.154x = 1460 => 0.146x = 1460 => x = 10000 So, the amount spent on food = 0.35 × 10000 = Rs. 3500
