Thus he had 93.75 Rs when he started from his house.

Explanation:

  • Let’s assume he has = x   Rs
  • Money left after 1st temple visit =  (2 x - 100)   Rs
  • Money left after 2nd temple visit = (4 x - 300)   Rs
  • Money left after 3rd temple visit = (8 x-700)   Rs
  • After 4th temple visit, he is left with =  (16 x - 1500)  Rs
  • Which is zero (as he is left with empty pockets)
  • Now the actual money he started with
  • Actual money  = 1500/16 =   93.75 Rs

Thus he had 93.75 Rs when he started from his house.
