Correct Answer: 1,71,000


Solution : Let the total amount of money Ayush has to be $x$.
He spends:
25% on insurance, which is $0.25x$.
26% on food, which is $0.26x$
23% on children’s education, which is $0.23x$.
19% on recreation, which is $0.19x$.
The total percentage spent = 25% + 26% + 23% + 19% = 93%
⇒ The remaining amount is 100% − 93% = 7% of $x$, which Ayush deposits in the bank
⇒ $0.07x$
Given that the deposited amount is 26,600
⇒ $0.07x=26600$
⇒ $x=\frac{26600}{0.07}$​
⇒ $x=380000$
⇒ Food + Recreation = $0.26x+0.19x=0.45x= 0.45 × 380000=$ INR 1,71,000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 1,71,000.
