    Kumar spent 20% of his monthly salary on rent, 40% of

    his remaining salary on food and clothes, and saved the rest. If he saved Rs. 9,600 and the amount spent by him on food was 50% more than that on clothes, then find the amount Kumar spent on food.
    A Rs.3,840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.4,880 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.6,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.6,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the monthly salary of "Kumar" = Rs. ‘x’ ATQ, (x×0.80×0.60)=9600 So, x=20000 Ratio of amount spent on food to amount spent on clothes = 3:2 Therefore, amount that he spent on food =(20000×0.80×0.40× (3/5)) = Rs.3,840
