    A Rs. 15000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 20000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 16000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 16500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the monthly salary of the man be Rs. ‘x’. Money spent on rent and transportation = (20 + 12)% of x = Rs. 0.32x Remaining money = (x – 0.32x) = Rs. 0.68x Money spent on food and entertainment = (30 + 45)% of 0.68x = Rs. 0.51x Remaining money left = 0.68x – 0.51x = 0.17x So, 0.17x = 2805 x = Rs. 16500
