Correct Answer: INR 16,000


Solution : Given,
Money borrowed = INR 16,000
Party expenses = INR 20,000
Let the Monthly income be 100%.
⇒ Money left = 100% – (40% + 18% + 12% + 5%)
⇒ Money left = 100% – 75% = 25%
Ramesh's party expenses were INR 20,000 and he borrowed INR 16,000
So, he had INR 4,000 in his pocket
⇒ 25% = 4000
⇒ 100% = 4000 × $\frac{100}{25}$ = 16000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 16,000.
