    D Rs. 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the monthly salary of A be Rs. ‘x’ Amount spent on food = Rs. 0.25x Amount spent on rent = Rs. 0.22x Amount received by brother = (x – 0.25x – 0.22x) × 0.20 = 0.106x So according to question: => 0.22x – 0.106x = 1140 => 0.114x = 1140 => x = 10000 So, the amount spent on food = 0.25 × 10000 = Rs. 2500
