D. Rs. $ 1,575 $

Answer 1

Hint: In this problem, we will use basic knowledge of addition and subtraction. If the person is having Rs. $ x $ and after selling a house she can get Rs. $ y $ then she is having new amount of Rs. $ x + y $ . If the person is having Rs. $ x $ and she purchased a house worth of Rs. $ y $ then she is having a new amount of Rs. $ x - y $ .

Complete step-by-step answer:
In this problem, it is given that Purviben had Rs. $ 2,75,950 $ . It is also given that by selling a house, she got Rs. $ 3,55,600 $ . Therefore, a new amount can be obtained by adding the original amount and the amount which she got after selling a house. That is, a new amount can be obtained by adding $ 2,75,950 $ and $ 3,55,600 $ . Therefore, we can say that now Purviben had Rs. $ 2,75,950 + 3,55,600 = 6,31,550 $ .
In the problem, it is also given that she purchased a new house worth Rs. $ 4,85,975 $ including all expenses. That is, she spent Rs. $ 4,85,975 $ for a new house. Therefore, a new amount can be obtained by subtracting $ 6,31,550 $ and $ 4,85,975 $ . Therefore, we can say that now Purviben has Rs. $ 6,31,550 - 4,85,975 = 1,45,575 $ .
So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note: In this problem, we can see that large numbers are given. Given numbers are of six digits. The smallest six-digit number is $ 1,00,000 $ and the largest six-digit number is $ 9,99,999 $ . If we add $ 1 $ to the largest six-digit number then we will get the smallest seven-digit number. When we are writing and reading large numbers then it is better to use commas between digits. We can easily add or subtract numbers if we use commas. Commas are used to mark thousands. The number $ 1,575 $ can be written as $ 1,000 + 575 $ . Also commas are used to mark lakhs and crores.
