3. Raju has enough amount to buy the handset and he will have Rs. 500 with him after buying the handset.
4. Raju has enough amount to buy the handset and he will have Rs. 1000 with him after buying the handset.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Raju still does not have enough amount to buy the handset.

Given :

Raju has Rs. 9000 with him and he wants to buy a mobile handset, but he finds that he has only 75% of the amount required to buy the handset. Therefore, he borrows Rs. 2000 from a friend.

Calculations :

Let the amount of handset be 'x' rupees 

According to the question

9000 = 75% of x 

⇒ x = 12000 rupees 

Now Raju borrows 2000 rupees 

Raju's total money = 9000 + 2000 

⇒ 11000 rupees 

It is clear that he still cannot buy the handset. 

∴ The correct choice will be option 1.
