Correct Answer: Rs. 12,600
Solution : A family income is Rs 35,000 in a month. 8% is saved every month. So, monthly expenditure $=\frac{35000×92}{100}=32200$ Let's assume they spend 100 on food. So, their health expenditure = (100 + 50) = 150 Their entertainment expenditure = $\frac{100}{3}$ Their education expenditure = (2 × 150) = 300 So, the rent expenditure = $\frac{1}{3}×(100+150+300)=\frac{550}{3}$ Total expenditure $=(100+150+\frac{100}{3}+300+\frac{550}{3})=(\frac{2300}{3})$ So, when $(\frac{2300}{3})$ is total expenditure, education expenditure is 300. Therefore, when 32,200 is the total expenditure, then the expenditure on education is $(300×\frac{3}{2300}×32200)$ = Rs. 12,600 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 12,600.
