    Solution

    Let the monthly salary of A be Rs. ‘x’ Amount spent on food = Rs. 0.30x Amount spent on rent = Rs. 0.26x Amount received by brother = (x - 0.30x - 0.26x) x 0.40 = 0.176x So according to question: 0.26x - 0.176x = 2251.20 0.084x = 2251.20 x = 26800 So, the amount spent on food = 0.30 x 26800 = Rs. 8040
