Question:

Mr. Stark gave 30% of the money he had to Bruce. He also gave 30% of the remaining amount to each of Natasha, Captain and Vision. Half of the remaining amount he spent on miscellaneous items, and the remaining amount of ₹14,000 he deposited in Marvel's Fund. How much money did Mr. Stark initially have?

Options:

₹3,90,000

₹4,00,000

₹3,70,000

₹3,00,000

Correct Answer:

₹4,00,000

Explanation:

Let initial Mr Stark have money = 100x

Money given to Bruce = 30% of 100x = 30x

Remaining money = 100x - 30x = 70x

Money given to each of Natasha, Captain and Vision = 30% of 70x = 21 x

Total money given to Natasha, Captain and Vision = 3 × 21x = 63x

Remaining money with Mr Stark = 100x - 30x - 63x = 7x

Money spent on Miscellaneous items = \(\frac{7x}{2}\) = 3.5x

According to question ,

3.5x = 140000

x = 4000

100x = 400000

So , total money Mr Stark has is 400000 .
