Answer 1

Answer:

2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given After spending 2/3 of his salary on rent and food items and 1/4 of remaining on transportation a guy has 6000 with him how much he pay on transportation

Let the salary be 1.

So 2/3 of his salary is 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

So 1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12 on transportation.

1/3 - 1/12 = 3/12 = 1/4

1/4 of transportation is Rs 6000

So for 1 ----- 6000 x 4 = Rs 24000 of total salary

So 1/12 x 24000 = Rs 2000

he paid Rs 2000 on transportation

Answer 2

Answer: Rs. 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the salary = Rs. x

As given in question

Salary spend on rent and food = $\dfrac{2x}{3}$

Remaining salary  $=x-\dfrac{2x}{3} = \dfrac{x}{3}$

Now salary spend on transport = $\dfrac{1}{4} \text { of remaining salary }$

$= \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{x}{3} =\dfrac{x}{12}$

Left amount =  

$\dfrac{x}{3} -\dfrac{x}{12} =\dfrac{4x-x}{12} =\dfrac{3x}{12} =\dfrac{x}{4}$

As question left amount = 6000

$\dfrac{x}{4} = 6000\\\\\Rightarrow x= 24000$

Total salary = Rs. 24000

∴Spending on transport = $\dfrac{1}{12} \times x$

$\dfrac{1}{12} \times 24000= 2000$

Hence, the salary spend on transport is Rs. 2000
