Correct Answer :

Option A

Raju still does not have enough amount to buy the handset.

Solution :

The correct option is: Raju still does not have enough amount to buy the handset.

Let us break down the problem step-by-step to understand why this is correct.

Step 1: Determine the total cost of the mobile handset.
Raju currently has ₹9000 with him.
The problem states that this ₹9000 is only 75% of the total amount required to buy the handset.
Let the total cost of the handset be represented by x.
According to the given condition:
75% of x = 9000
75100×x=9000

We can solve for x by simplifying the equation:
34×x=9000
x = 9000×43
x = 3000×4
x = 12000

So, the total cost of the mobile handset is ₹12000.

Step 2: Calculate the total amount Raju has after borrowing.
Raju had ₹9000 initially.
He borrows ₹2000 from a friend.
Total amount Raju has now = 9000 + 2000 = ₹11000.

Step 3: Compare Raju's total amount with the cost of the handset.
The total cost of the handset is ₹12000.
The total amount Raju now possesses is ₹11000.
Since ₹11000 is less than ₹12000, Raju is still short of:
12000 - 11000 = ₹1000.

Therefore, Raju still does not have enough money to buy the handset.
