Options

A. `7120`
B. `5250`
C. `5520`
D. None of these

Answer

To find out how much Mrs. Verma saves, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the amount spent on household items.
Mrs. Verma spends \( \frac{7}{12} \) of her monthly earnings on household items.

\[ \text{Amount spent on household items} = \frac{7}{12} \times 18000 \]

Calculating this:

\[ = \frac{7 \times 18000}{12} = \frac{126000}{12} = 10500 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the remaining amount after household expenses.
To find the remaining amount after spending on household items, we subtract the household expenses from her total earnings.

\[ \text{Remaining amount} = 18000 - 10500 = 7500 \]

### Step 3: Calculate the amount spent on other things.
Mrs. Verma spends \( \frac{1}{8} \) of the remaining amount on other things.

\[ \text{Amount spent on other things} = \frac{1}{8} \times 7500 \]

Calculating this:

\[ = \frac{7500}{8} = 937.5 \]

### Step 4: Calculate the total amount spent.
Now, we need to find the total amount spent by adding the household expenses and the expenses on other things.

\[ \text{Total amount spent} = 10500 + 937.5 = 11437.5 \]

### Step 5: Calculate the amount saved.
Finally, we can find out how much Mrs. Verma saves by subtracting the total amount spent from her total earnings.

\[ \text{Amount saved} = 18000 - 11437.5 = 6562.5 \]

Thus, the amount Mrs. Verma saves is **Rs. 6562.5**.
