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?
x – 1700
x – 1900
x + 200
x – 2100
Start with the total money Savitri has: ( x ).
She spends on three things:
(1000) (grocery)
(500) (clothes)
(400) (education)
Add these spent amounts:
(1000 + 500 + 400 = 1900)
Money left after spending:
(x - 1900)
She then receives a gift of (200). Add this:
((x - 1900) + 200)
Simplify:
((x - 1900) + 200 = x - 1700)
So, money left = (x - 1700). Hence, the correct option is A.
