Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 600

Step-by-step explanation

Let say Amount in Start = 100M  Rs

Spend on Food Articles = (40/100) 100M = 40M  Rs

Remaining Amount = 100M - 40 M = 60 M  Rs

Spend on clothes = (40/100) * 60 M =  24 M  Rs

Remaining Amount = 60M - 24 M = 36 M  Rs

Spend on Transportation = (50/100)36M  = 18M  Rs

50% of 18M = (50/100)18M = 9M = 900

=> M = 100

the difference between the amount spent on the clothes and transportation

= 24M - 18M

= 6M

= 6 * 100

= 600 Rs
