Answer 1

Answer: Rs 60

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2 of her money she spent in one shop then

she spent 1/3 of x/2

⇒ She spent 1/3  x  x/2 = x/6 of her money.

According to the given condition

x/2 + x/6 + 20 = x

⇒ 3x + x - 6x = -20  / 6

⇒ -2x/6 = -20

⇒ x = 20x6/2 = Rs 60

Therefore Kanchan had Rs 60 in the beginning
