    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) x 0.40 = 0.156x So according to question: 0.25x - 0.156x = 3290 0.094x = 3290 x = 35000 So, the amount spent on food = 0.36 x 35000 = Rs. 12600
