a) Rs. 100
b) Rs. 500
c) Rs. 350
d) Rs. 400
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Kiran has Rs. 140 left after using 65% of total money she had on shopping. Let the total money with Kiran be Rs. X.
∴ 140 = Total money – 65% of total money
∴ 140 = (100 – 65)% of total money
∴ 140 = 35% of X.
∴ 140 = \(\frac{35}{100}\) × X
∴ X = \(\frac{140×100}{35}\)
∴ X = 400
Thus, total money with Kiran before shopping is Rs. 400.
