`. Let's construct the clean answer: `Rs. 3461/-` Let's carefully write out the XML tags and content. Rs. 3461/-

The correct option is Rs. 3461/-.

Step 1: Understand the given data
From the question, we are given the breakdown of Mr. Das's total monthly income spent on various heads:
• Food expenses = 25%
• House-rent = 18%
• Entertainment = 9%
• Child's education = 23%
• Medical expenses = 13%
• Savings = 12%

Total percentage = 25% + 18% + 9% + 23% + 13% + 12% = 100%

Step 2: Calculate the combined percentage spent on food and entertainment
Percentage spent on food = 25%
Percentage spent on entertainment = 9%

Total percentage spent on food and entertainment:

$\text{Combined Percentage}=25\%+9\%=34\%$

Step 3: Calculate the total money spent
Mr. Das's total monthly income including salary (Rs. 9228/-) and rent allowance equals Rs. 10180/-.

Now, calculate 34% of total income Rs. 10180/-:

$\text{Total Spent}=\frac{34}{100}\times 10180$

$\text{Total Spent}=0.34\times 10180=3461.2$

Rounding to the nearest whole number gives Rs. 3461/-.
