Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Total amount paid by the customer for construction work \(=\$ 600\)mount spent on the purchase of materials \(=3 / 5\) of the total amount \(=3 / 5{ }^{\star} 600=\) \(\$ 360\)
Remaining amount \(=\$(600-360)=\$ 240\)mount spent on travelling \(=1 / 5\) of the remaining amount \(=1 / 5{ }^{\star} 240=\$ 48\)
Total amount spent \(=\$(360+48)=\$ 408\)mount left after both the deductions \(=\$(600-408)=\$ 192\)
