    Solution

    Let the monthly salary of A be Rs. ‘x’ Amount spent on food = Rs. 0.36x Amount spent on rent = Rs. 0.25x Amount received by brother = (x – 0.36x – 0.25x) × 0.10 = 0.039x So according to question: => 0.25x – 0.039x = 2110 => 0.211x = 2110 => x = 10000 So, the amount spent on food = 0.36 × 10000 = Rs. 3600
