Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Rs.1,04,880.
100% = Rs 2,28,000
⇒ 1% = Rs 2280.
Now, expenditure done on steel, cement and tiles are 18%, 19% and 9% respectively.
Total expenditure = (18 + 19 + 9)% = 46%.
As 1% = 2280
⇒ 46% = 46 × 2280 = Rs 1,04,880
