What is the average expense (in Rs.) of Mohan?
Options:
A) 1104 
B) 1220
C) 1308 
D) 1206
E) 1462
Solution:

Share of education = \(\cfrac{100}{360}\) × 72 = 20%

Share of entertainment = 10%

Share of travelling = 15%

Share of other expenses = 15%

Share of food = 100% - (20% + 10% + 15% + 15%) = 40%


Required average expense = \(\cfrac{1}{5}\) × (15% of 20% + 25% of 40% + 10% of 10% + 40% of 15% + 20% of

15%) of Rs.24000 = Rs.1104
