    ‘F’ is 8:3, respectively. ‘E’ spends 75% of his pocket money while ‘F’ spends 50% of his pocket money. If the savings of ‘E’ is Rs. 180 more than that of ‘F’, then find the total pocket money of ‘E’.
    A Rs 2560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 2680 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 2760 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 2880 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs 3000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the pocket money of ‘E’ and ‘F’ be Rs. 8x and Rs. 3x respectively
    (0.25 × 8x) – (0.5 × 3x) = 180
    2x – 1.5x = 180 → 0.5x = 180 → x = 360
    Therefore, pocket money of ‘E’ = 8x = Rs. 2880
