question: A person spends 1/3rd of the money with him on clothes, 1/5th of the remaining on food and 1/4th of the remaining on travel. Now, he is left with Rs 400. How much did he have with him in the beginning?
Options:
(A) s 200
(B) s 1000
(C) s 300
(D) s 450
(E) s 550
answer: Stream of consciousness: Suppose the amount in the beginning was Rs 'x'
Money spent on clothes = Rs 1x/3 Balance = Rs 2x/3
Money spent on food = 1/5 of 2x/3 = Rs 2x/15
Balance = 2x/3 - 2x/15 = Rs 8x/15
Money spent on travel = 1/4 of 8x/15 = Rs 2x/15 = 8x/15 - 2x/15 = 6x/15 = Rs2x/5
Therefore 2x/5 = 400 = 1000 The answer is (B).
