A person withdrew ₹4,560 from his bank account on 4 th of a month and deposited  ₹2,567 on 20 th of the same month. If at the end of the month, balance is ₹3,125, then money (in ₹) at the start of the month in his account was :

The correct answer is Option 2: 5,118.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let the initial balance at the start of the month be ₹ $x$.

1. Account transactions during the month:

- Money withdrawn on the 4th of the month = ₹ 4,560
Since money was withdrawn, it reduces the total balance in the account.

- Money deposited on the 20th of the month = ₹ 2,567
Since money was deposited, it adds to the total balance in the account.

2. Setting up the equation:

The balance at the end of the month is given as ₹ 3,125.

Using the transaction details, we can write the equation for the final balance as:

$x-4560+2567=3125$

3. Solving for $x$:

First, simplify the net change in the balance:

$-4560+2567=-1993$

Substitute this back into the equation:

$x-1993=3125$

Now, add 1,993 to both sides to solve for $x$:

$x=3125+1993$

$x=5118$

Therefore, the money at the start of the month in his account was ₹ 5,118.
