Answer 2

Answer:

He paid Rs 2000 on transportation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : After spending 2/3 of his salary on rent and food items and 1/4th of the remaining on transportation, Rajesh has 6000 with him.

To find : How much did he pay on transportation?

Solution :

Let the salary be 1.

So, $\frac{2}{3}$ of his salary is $1 -\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$

On transportation the expenditure is $\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{12}$

Money spent on transportation is

$\frac{1}{3}- \frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$

So, $\frac{1}{4}$ of transportation is Rs 6000

For 1,$6000\times 4=24000$ of total salary

Then,

$\frac{1}{12}\times 24000=Rs.2000$

Therefore, He paid Rs 2000 on transportation.
