Answer:
let total money with Simi = x
money spent on sweets =1/4×x=x/4
money spent on clothes =x/3
money spent on vegetables=x/5
money left = 182
we get;
x/4+x/3+x/5+182=x
15x+20x+12x+10920/60=x
47x+10920/60=x
47x+10920=60x
10920=60x-47x
13x=10920
x=10920/13
x=840
total money =Rs840
money spent on clothes=x/3=840/3=280
therefore answer=Rs280
