Answer:
he initially had rs.200/- with him
Step-by-step explanation:
let us consider the total amount is 'x'
the boy spends 3/4 of his money= 3/4x
therefore, the remaining amount with him is x-3/4x= x/4
hence he gives 4/5 of remainder to sister= 4/5*x/4= x/5
give that, sister has 40/-,
which means x/5=40, by sloving we get x=200/-
