    B Rs. 12500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 13600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 16500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 15900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the monthly salary of the man be Rs. ‘x’. Money spent on rent and transportation = (22 + 20)% of x = Rs. 0.42x Remaining money = (x – 0.42x) = Rs. 0.58x Money spent on food and entertainment = (33 + 50)% of 0.58x = Rs. 0.4814x Remaining money left = 0.58x – 0.4814x = 0.0986x So, 0.0986x = 1340.96 x = Rs. 13600
