• A. Rs. 4000
• B. Rs. 5000
• C. Rs. 6000
• D. Rs. 7000

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: Food expense = $25%$ of 20,000 = $0.25 \times 20,000 = 5000$.
- Step 2: Verify: Total = $0.3 \times 20,000 + 5000 + 0.2 \times 20,000 + 0.15 \times 20,000 + 0.1 \times 20,000 = 6000 + 5000 + 4000 + 3000 + 2000 = 20,000$.
- Step 3: Check options: Option (2) is 5000.
- Step 4: Confirm Food percentage is correctly applied.
- Step 5: Option (2) is correct.
- Step 6: Recheck calculation for accuracy.
