The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Understanding the Income Distribution The person spends \( \frac{1}{3} \) of his income on food, clothes, and education in the ratio \( 3:2:4 \). Let the total income be \( I \). Then, the amount spent on food, clothes, and education is: \[ \text{Amount spent} = \frac{1}{3} I \] ### Step 2: Finding the Total Parts of the Ratio The total parts of the ratio \( 3:2:4 \) is: \[ 3 + 2 + 4 = 9 \text{ parts} \] ### Step 3: Finding the Value of Each Part If \( \frac{1}{3} I \) corresponds to 9 parts, then the value of each part is: \[ \text{Value of each part} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} I}{9} = \frac{I}{27} \] ### Step 4: Finding the Amount Spent on Each Category Now we can find the amount spent on food, clothes, and education: - Amount spent on food: \[ \text{Food} = 3 \times \frac{I}{27} = \frac{I}{9} \] - Amount spent on clothes: \[ \text{Clothes} = 2 \times \frac{I}{27} = \frac{2I}{27} \] - Amount spent on education: \[ \text{Education} = 4 \times \frac{I}{27} = \frac{4I}{27} \] ### Step 5: Total Amount Spent on Food, Clothes, and Education The total amount spent on food, clothes, and education is: \[ \text{Total} = \frac{I}{9} + \frac{2I}{27} + \frac{4I}{27} \] To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 27: \[ \text{Total} = \frac{3I}{27} + \frac{2I}{27} + \frac{4I}{27} = \frac{9I}{27} = \frac{I}{3} \] ### Step 6: Amount Spent on Transport and Entertainment The person spends \( \frac{2}{5} \) of his income on transport and entertainment in the ratio \( 4:5 \). The amount spent on transport and entertainment is: \[ \text{Amount spent} = \frac{2}{5} I \] ### Step 7: Finding the Total Parts of the Transport Ratio The total parts of the ratio \( 4:5 \) is: \[ 4 + 5 = 9 \text{ parts} \] ### Step 8: Finding the Value of Each Part for Transport If \( \frac{2}{5} I \) corresponds to 9 parts, then the value of each part is: \[ \text{Value of each part} = \frac{\frac{2}{5} I}{9} = \frac{2I}{45} \] ### Step 9: Finding the Amount Spent on Transport and Entertainment Now we can find the amount spent on transport and entertainment: - Amount spent on transport: \[ \text{Transport} = 4 \times \frac{2I}{45} = \frac{8I}{45} \] - Amount spent on entertainment: \[ \text{Entertainment} = 5 \times \frac{2I}{45} = \frac{10I}{45} = \frac{2I}{9} \] ### Step 10: Total Amount Spent on Transport and Entertainment The total amount spent on transport and entertainment is: \[ \text{Total} = \frac{8I}{45} + \frac{10I}{45} = \frac{18I}{45} = \frac{2I}{5} \] ### Step 11: Total Income Calculation The total income \( I \) can be calculated using the deposit in the bank: The total amount spent on food, clothes, education, transport, and entertainment is: \[ \frac{1}{3} I + \frac{2}{5} I \] Finding a common denominator (15): \[ \frac{5I}{15} + \frac{6I}{15} = \frac{11I}{15} \] The remaining amount after spending is: \[ I - \frac{11I}{15} = \frac{4I}{15} \] This remaining amount is equal to Rs 2700 (the amount deposited in the bank): \[ \frac{4I}{15} = 2700 \] Solving for \( I \): \[ I = 2700 \times \frac{15}{4} = 10125 \] ### Step 12: Finding the Amount Spent on Food, Clothes, and Transport Now we can find the amounts spent: - Amount spent on food: \[ \text{Food} = \frac{I}{9} = \frac{10125}{9} = 1125 \] - Amount spent on clothes: \[ \text{Clothes} = \frac{2I}{27} = \frac{2 \times 10125}{27} = 750 \] - Amount spent on transport: \[ \text{Transport} = \frac{8I}{45} = \frac{8 \times 10125}{45} = 1800 \] ### Final Calculation Now, we sum the amounts spent on food, clothes, and transport: \[ \text{Total} = 1125 + 750 + 1800 = 3675 \] ### Final Answer The total amount spent on food, clothes, and transport is Rs 3675. ---
