The correct Answer is:
To find out how much money the man was left with after buying the rice, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total earnings from selling the wood. The man sold 15 units of wood, and each unit was sold for Rs 32. \[ \text{Total earnings} = \text{Number of units} \times \text{Cost per unit} \] \[ \text{Total earnings} = 15 \times 32 = 480 \text{ Rs} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the cost of the rice. The man bought 2 kg of rice at the rate of Rs 28 per kg. \[ \text{Cost of rice} = \text{Weight of rice} \times \text{Cost per kg} \] \[ \text{Cost of rice} = 2 \times 28 = 56 \text{ Rs} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the remaining money after buying the rice. To find out how much money the man has left after purchasing the rice, we subtract the cost of the rice from his total earnings. \[ \text{Remaining money} = \text{Total earnings} - \text{Cost of rice} \] \[ \text{Remaining money} = 480 - 56 = 424 \text{ Rs} \] ### Final Answer: The man was left with Rs 424 after buying the rice. ---
