C ₹22140 ₹22140 Let's Raju's total income = 100x expenditure on transport = 10% of 100x = 10x expenditure on food = 20% of 100x = 20x expenditure on clothing = 30% of 70x = 21x Savings of Raju = 100x - 51x = 49x = 26460 x = 540 Now total expenditure on food and clothing = 20x + 21x = 41x = 41 × \times 540 = ₹22140

Accepted Answer

C

₹22140

Let's Raju's total income = 100x

expenditure on transport = 10% of 100x = 10x

expenditure on food = 20% of 100x = 20x

expenditure on clothing = 30% of 70x = 21x

Savings of Raju = 100x - 51x = 49x = 26460

x = 540

Now total expenditure on food and clothing = 20x + 21x = 41x = 41 $imes$ 540 = ₹22140
