Tanzeem spent 1/5 of his salary on his friends, 1/10 of his salary on accommodation and 1/4 of his salary on savings. If he has Rs. 1800 left in his wallet, then Find his total expenditure on accommodation and savings.
Let total salary = Rs. $$20x$$
Amount spent on friends = $$\frac{1}{5}\times20x=Rs.$$ $$4x$$
Amount spent on accommodation = $$\frac{1}{10}\times20x=Rs.$$ $$2x$$
Amount in savings = $$\frac{1}{4}\times20x=Rs.$$ $$5x$$
=> Amount left = $$20x-(4x+2x+5x)=1800$$
=> $$20x-11x=9x=1800$$
=> $$x=\frac{1800}{9}=200$$
$$\therefore$$ Total expenditure on accommodation and savings = $$2x+5x=7x$$
= $$7\times200=Rs.$$ $$1,400$$
=> Ans - (B)
