1. Rs. 28,600
2. Rs. 33,800
3. Rs. 1,01,400
4. Rs. 1,30,000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 1,30,000

Given:

Bovina spent on air tickets = Rs. 44,668

Bovina spent on buying gifts = Rs. 56,732

Remaining amount = 22%

Calculation:

Let the total amount of Bovina be Rs. x

According to the question

⇒ 78% of x = Rs. (44,668 + 56,732)

⇒ (78/100 × x) = Rs. 101,400

⇒ x = Rs. (101,400 × 100)/78

⇒ x = Rs. 1,30,000

∴ The total amount was Rs. 1,30,000
