Correct Answer: INR 4,00,000


Solution : Let the total money be $x$
He gave 30% to Bruce = $0.30x$
Remaining amount = $x - 0.30x = 0.70x$
He gave 30% of the remaining money to Natasha
$=3 \times (30\%$ of $0.70x) = 3 \times 0.21x = 0.63x$
The remaining amount $=0.70x - 0.63x = 0.07x$
He spent half of the remaining money on miscellaneous items $=50\%$ of $0.07x = 0.035x$
The remaining amount deposited to Marvel fund = INR 14000
⇒ $0.07x - 0.035x = 14000$
⇒ $0.035x = 14000$
⇒ $x = \frac{14000}{0.035} = 4,00,000$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 4,00,000.
