Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Solution: Let the total amount be T.

  • Total spent = Rs. 45,760 + Rs. 27,960 = Rs. 73,720.

  • Remaining amount = 40% of T = 0.4T. So 73,720 + 0.4T = T.

  • Solve: 0.6T = 73,720 ⇒ T = 73,720 ÷ 0.6 = Rs. 1,22,866.67 (approx).

Therefore the total amount is Rs. 1,22,866.67 (approx). This does not match any of the numeric choices, so 'None of the above' is the correct selection.
