Question:

Anubhav spent 14% of his income on electricity, bills, 28% on rent and 18% on shopping. If ${\frac{1}{4}}^{th}$ of the remaining amount is ₹5120, how much did he spend on electricity bills?

Options:

₹7160

₹7168

₹8160

₹9000

Correct Answer:

₹7168

Explanation:

Assume total income be P

Expenditure on Electricity 14% = 0.14P

Exp on rent 18% = 0.18P

Exp on shopping 28% = 0.28P 

Total exp = (0.14+0.18+0.28)P = 0.6P

Savings = 0.4P

1/4th of savings = 5120

0.4P/4 = 5120

0.1P = 5120

P = 51200

Exp on Elect. Bill = 0.14P = 0.14*51200 = 7168

The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹7168
