A person with some money spends 1/3 for cloths, 1/5 of the remaining for food and 1/4 of the remai..

Answer / guest

Rs. 250/-

Assume that initially he had Rs. X
He spent 1/3 for cloths =. (1/3) * X
Remaining money = (2/3) * X

He spent 1/5 of remaining money for food = (1/5) * (2/3) *
X = (2/15) * X
Remaining money = (2/3) * X - (2/15) * X = (8/15) * X

Again, he spent 1/4 of remaining maoney for travel = (1/4)
* (8/15) * X = (2/15) * X
Remaining money = (8/15) * X - (2/15) * X = (6/15) * X

But after spending for travel he is left with Rs. 100/- So
(6/15) * X = 100
X = 250
