Solution : Given: A man loses 20% of his money and after spending 85% of the remainder, he is left with Rs.120. Let the initial money be $x$. According to the question, $x×\frac{100-20}{100}×\frac{100-85}{100}=120$ ⇒ $x=120×\frac{100}{80}×\frac{100}{15}$ $\therefore x=1000$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1,000.
