Answer 2

The salary of the man is # 720.

Given,

Monthly salary is spent on four things in the ratio 2:2:3:5

Money spent on the least = # 120

To Find,

The total salary of the person

Solution,

This problem could be solved using the following method.

We have been given the ratio on which a man spent his salary on four things.

Our objective is to find the total salary of the man.

Let the total salary be S.

The ratio in which the man spent his salary on four items is 2:2:3:5.

From this data, we can infer the following:

⇒ 2x + 2x + 3x + 5x = S

⇒ 12x = S

⇒ S = 12x

Let it be equation (1)

We have also been given that the least he spent was #120.

⇒ 2x = 120

⇒ x = 60

Now, substitute the value of x in equation (1):

⇒ S = 12 × 60

⇒ S = 720

Hence, the salary of the man is # 720
