    B Rs. 125000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 160000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 165000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 159000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the monthly salary of the man be Rs. ‘x’. Money spent on rent and transportation = (22 + 14)% of x = Rs. 0.36x Remaining money = (x – 0.36x) = Rs. 0.64x Money spent on food and entertainment = (32 + 47)% of 0.64x = Rs. 0.5056x Remaining money left = 0.64x – 0.5056x = 0.1344x So, 0.1344x = 16800 x = Rs. 125000
