ANSwer : 42rs
Answer:
Rs 42
Step-by-step explanation:
LET MONEY WITH LADY BE = x
Money she spent on hankies = x/2
Money she gave to begger =Rs 1
After giving money to begger, money left
=x/1 - x/2 - 1/1
=2x - x - 2/2
=x-2/2
Money she spent on lunch = x-2/2 ÷ 2
= x-2/2*1/2 (reciprocal of 2)
= x-2/4
Money she gave as tip=Rs 2
After giving tip, money left
=x-2/2-(x-2)/4-2/1
=2x-4-x+2-8/4
=x-10/4
Money spent on book=x-10/4÷2
=x-10/4*1/2 (reciprocal of 2)
=x-10/8
Money paid for bus=Rs 3
After giving bus fair, money left
=x-10/4-(x-10)/8-3/1
=2x-20-x+10-24/8
=x-34/8
Money left when she reached home= Rs 1
= x-34/8=1
= x-34=8
=x=8+34
=x= Rs 42
