Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The correct choice is: “₹ 378”
Fraction spent on food and rent = 1/3 + 1/4 = 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12. The remaining fraction = 1 − 7/12 = 5/12.
5/12 of income = ₹ 630, so income = 630 × 12/5 = ₹ 1512.
House rent = 1/4 × 1512 = ₹ 378.
“₹ 1512” is the total income, not the rent. “₹ 504” is the amount spent on food (1/3 × 1512). “₹ 540” does not correspond to any part of the income.
