Answer 1

Answer:

(i) The amount of provident fund deducted is Rs. 160.

(ii) Amount spent on house rent is Rs. 184. Amount spent on house rent is Rs. 184.

Step-by-step explanation:

The salary of a person is, Rs. 2000.

The percentage deducted as PF is, 8%.

The percentage spent on house rent is 10% and education is 20%.

(i)

Compute the amount of PF deducted as follows:

$PF=Salary\times \frac{PF\%}{100}\\=2000\times \frac{8}{100}\\=2000\times 0.08\\=160$

Thus, the amount of provident fund deducted is Rs. 160.

(ii)

The remaining amount after deducting PF is, Rs. 1840.

Compute the amount spent on house rent as follows:

$House\ rent=1840\times \frac{10}{100}=184$

Amount spent on house rent is Rs. 184.

Compute the amount spent on education as follows:

$Education=1840\times \frac{20}{100}=368$

Amount spent on house rent is Rs. 184.
