The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find out how much money Sarita gave to Geeta and then subtract that amount from Sarita's initial amount to find out how much money is left with her. ### Step 1: Identify the total amount Sarita has. Sarita has Rs. 10,500. ### Step 2: Calculate the amount given to Geeta. Sarita gives Geeta \( \frac{3}{5} \) of her total amount. To find this amount, we multiply the total amount by \( \frac{3}{5} \). \[ \text{Amount given to Geeta} = \frac{3}{5} \times 10,500 \] ### Step 3: Perform the multiplication. First, we can simplify the multiplication: \[ \frac{3}{5} \times 10,500 = \frac{3 \times 10,500}{5} \] Now, we can divide 10,500 by 5: \[ 10,500 \div 5 = 2,100 \] Now, multiply this result by 3: \[ 3 \times 2,100 = 6,300 \] So, Sarita gives Rs. 6,300 to Geeta. ### Step 4: Calculate the remaining amount with Sarita. To find out how much money is left with Sarita, we subtract the amount given to Geeta from the total amount Sarita had. \[ \text{Remaining amount} = 10,500 - 6,300 \] ### Step 5: Perform the subtraction. \[ 10,500 - 6,300 = 4,200 \] Thus, the amount left with Sarita is Rs. 4,200. ### Final Answer: Sarita has Rs. 4,200 left. ---
