The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the instructions given in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Determine the total amount of money Rita has. Rita has a total of Rs. 300. ### Step 2: Calculate the amount spent on notebooks. Rita spends \( \frac{1}{3} \) of her money on notebooks. To find this amount, we multiply: \[ \text{Amount spent on notebooks} = \frac{1}{3} \times 300 = 100 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the remaining money after buying notebooks. After spending on notebooks, the remaining money is: \[ \text{Remaining money} = 300 - 100 = 200 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the amount spent on stationery items. Rita spends \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the remaining money on stationery items. To find this amount, we multiply: \[ \text{Amount spent on stationery} = \frac{1}{4} \times 200 = 50 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the total amount spent. Now, we add the amounts spent on notebooks and stationery: \[ \text{Total amount spent} = 100 + 50 = 150 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the amount of money left with Rita. Finally, we find out how much money is left with Rita after her purchases: \[ \text{Money left} = 300 - 150 = 150 \] ### Conclusion: Rita has Rs. 150 left. ---
