Options

A. 17000
B. 10000
C. 9000
D. 13000

Answer

D

Explanation

(d) Let Rakesh's salary be '100x'
Salary spent in PPF=12x
Remaining Salary =88x
So, Salary spent on clothes =3/8 of 88x=33x
As per the question ,
33x-12x=10500
21x=10500
i.e. x=500
So, Rakesh's Salary =Rs. 50000
Amount spent on Remaining expenses` =50000-((12xx500)+(33 xxx500))` ltvbrgt `=50000-(6000+16500)=50000-22500=27500.`
Now, let House rent be 'a'
Other expenses =a+1500
ATQ
a+(a+1500)=27500
2a=26000
a=Rs 13000
