Sohan spends 23% of an amount of money on an insurance policy, 33% on food, 19% on children's education and 16% on recreation. He deposits the remaining amount of Rs.504 in bank, How much total amount does he spend on food and insurance policy together?


A) Rs.3200

B) Rs.3126

C) Rs.3136

D) Rs.3048

Correct Answer:
C) Rs.3136

Description for Correct answer:
Let total amount be Rs.x.

Total expenditure = (23 + 33 + 19 + 16)%

of x = 91% of X

Remaining money

= (100 - 91)% of x = 9% of x

According to the question,

9% of x = 504

Therefore, x = \( \Large \frac{504}{9} \times 100 \) = Rs.5600

Now, total money (food + insurance)%

= (23 + 33)% of x = 56% of x = 56% of 5600

= \( \Large \frac{56}{100} \times 5600 \) = Rs.3136
