    B Rs.550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.980 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.449 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,


    Let monthly income of Sneha be Rs. x

    Amount remaining after spending 30% on groceries = 70% of x = 0.7x

    Amount spent on travel = 50% of 0.7x = 0.5 × 0.7x = 0.35x

    Savings = x - (0.3x + 0.35x) = 0.35x

    Now, 0.35x = 980

    ⇒ x = 980 / 0.35 = 2800

    Amount spent on travel = 0.35 × 2800 = Rs. 980
