Let the Hari Lal was having R rupees in beginning.
∵ R - [40% of R + 25% of R + 15% of R + 5% of R] = 1305
⇒ R - 85% of R = 1305
⇒ 15% of R = 1305Correct Option: C
Let the Hari Lal was having R rupees in beginning.
∵ R - [40% of R + 25% of R + 15% of R + 5% of R] = 1305
⇒ R - 85% of R = 1305
⇒ 15% of R = 1305
∴ R = (1305 x 100)/15 = 8700

∵ 30% of 180 + N% of 150 = 50% of (180 + 150)
⇒ 54 + (N x 150)/100 = 165
⇒ 3N/2 = 111Correct Option: A
∵ 30% of 180 + N% of 150 = 50% of (180 + 150)
⇒ 54 + (N x 150)/100 = 165
⇒ 3N/2 = 111
∴ N = (111 x 2) / 3 =74
