| Sohan spends 23% of an amount of money on an insurance policy, 33% on food, 19% on children's education and 16% on recreation. He deposits the remaining amount of Rs. 504 in bank. How much total amount did he spend on food and insurance policy together? |
A) Rs. 3200
B) Rs. 3126
C) Rs. 3136
D) Rs. 3048
E) None of these
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
| Total expenses (in percentage) |
| = 23% +33% + 19% + 16% = 91% |
| Saying \[=100-91=9%\] |
| Income \[=\frac{100}{9}\times 504=\text{Rs}.\,\,5600\] |
| Expenses on food and insurance policy |
| \[=\left( \frac{33+23}{100} \right)\times 5600=\frac{56}{100}\times 5600=\text{Rs}\text{.}\,\,3136\] |
