The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information about Parveen's spending habits. ### Step 1: Determine Parveen's Monthly Income We know that Parveen spends Rs. 3000 on petrol, which represents 30% of his monthly income. Let his monthly income be \( x \). According to the problem: \[ 0.30x = 3000 \] ### Step 2: Solve for Monthly Income To find \( x \), we rearrange the equation: \[ x = \frac{3000}{0.30} \] \[ x = 10000 \] ### Step 3: Calculate Remaining Income After Petrol Now that we have Parveen's monthly income, we can calculate how much money he has left after spending on petrol: \[ \text{Remaining Income} = x - \text{Amount spent on petrol} \] \[ \text{Remaining Income} = 10000 - 3000 = 7000 \] ### Step 4: Calculate House Rent Parveen spends \( \frac{1}{4} \) of his remaining income on house rent. Therefore: \[ \text{House Rent} = \frac{1}{4} \times \text{Remaining Income} \] \[ \text{House Rent} = \frac{1}{4} \times 7000 = 1750 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the sum of money that Parveen spends on house rent is Rs. 1750. ---
