Question.  14

Savitri has a sum of Rs x. She spent Rs 1000 on grocery, Rs 500 on clothes and Rs 400 on education, and received Rs 200 as a gift. How much money (in Rs) is left with her?

(A)

x – 1700

(B)

x – 1900

(C)

x + 200

(D)

x – 2100

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

  1. Start with the total money Savitri has: ( x ).

  2. She spends on three things:

    (1000) (grocery)

    (500) (clothes)

    (400) (education)

  3. Add these spent amounts:

    (1000 + 500 + 400 = 1900)

  4. Money left after spending:

    (x - 1900)

  5. She then receives a gift of (200). Add this:

    ((x - 1900) + 200)

  6. Simplify:

    ((x - 1900) + 200 = x - 1700)

So, money left = (x - 1700). Hence, the correct option is A.
