Question

Binod lost one half of his money.He gave the two-fifth of the remainder to his uncle and one-fourth to his brother.If he had Rs 2000 at first ,how much money is left with him?​

Answer 1

After Binod lost half his initial money of Rs 2000 and subsequently gave two-fifths to his uncle and one-fourth to his brother, he is left with Rs 450.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question deals with a situation where Binod lost half of his money, then gave away parts of the remaining money to his uncle and brother. Starting with Rs 2000, when he loses half, he's left with Rs 1000. He then gives two-fifth of this remainder, which is Rs 400 (2/5 of 1000), to his uncle, and one-fourth of what is left after that, which is Rs 150 ((1000-400) / 4), to his brother. Therefore, the amount of money left with Binod after all these transactions can be calculated as follows:

• Initially: Rs 2000
• After losing half: Rs 2000 / 2 = Rs 1000
• After giving two-fifth to uncle: Rs 1000 - (2/5 * 1000) = Rs 1000 - Rs 400 = Rs 600
• After giving one-fourth to brother: Rs 600 - (1/4 * 600) = Rs 600 - Rs 150 = Rs 450

The final amount left with Binod is Rs 450.
