Correct Answer: Rs. 1,500
Solution : Let the total amount of money that Nakul had be $x$ First, Nakul used 20% of his money to buy wheat flour. This means he spent $\frac{20}{100}x$ on wheat flour, leaving him with $\frac{80}{100}x$. Next, Nakul spent 25% of the remaining money on cooking oils. Amount spent = $\frac{25}{100} \times \frac{80}{100}x$ Therefore, the amount of money left after this expenditure is $\frac{75}{100} \times \frac{80}{100}x$. According to the given information, Nakul is left with Rs. 900, so we can set up the equation: $\frac{75}{100} \times \frac{80}{100}x = 900$ ⇒ $x = \frac{900 \times 100 \times 100}{75 \times 80}$ ⇒ $x = 1500$ Therefore, the total amount of money that Nakul had is Rs. 1500. Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1,500.
