    D Rs. 16500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the monthly salary of the man be Rs. ‘x’. Money spent on rent and transportation = (23 + 10)% of x = Rs. 0.33x Remaining money = (x – 0.33x) = Rs. 0.67x Money spent on food and entertainment = (31 + 46)% of 0.67x = Rs. 0.5159x Remaining money left = 0.67x – 0.5159x = 0.1541x So, 0.1541x = 3004.95 x = Rs. 19500
