(1/3) * X Remaining money = (2/3) * X He spent 1/5 of remaining money for food = (1/5) * (2/3) * X = (2/15) * X Remaining money = (2/3) * X - (2/15) * X = (8/15) * X Again, he spent 1/4 of remaining maoney for travel = (1/4) * (8/15) * X = (2/15) * X Remaining money = (8/15) * X - (2/15) * X = (6/15) * X But after spending for travel he is left with Rs. 100/- So (6/15) * X = 100 X = 250 9. 12 members were present at a board meeting.
