    Question

    The ratio of the pocket money of two persons ‘C’ and

    ‘D’ is 4:3, respectively. ‘C’ spends 50% of his pocket money while ‘D’ spends 75% of his pocket money. If the savings of ‘C’ is Rs. 120 more than that of ‘D’, then find the total pocket money of ‘C’.
    A Rs 320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 384 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the pocket money of ‘C’ and ‘D’ be Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively
    (0.5 × 4x) – (0.25 × 3x) = 120
    2x – 0.75x = 120 → 1.25x = 120 → x = 96
    Therefore, pocket money of ‘C’ = 4x = Rs. 384
