Select an option to attempt

Explanation

Total amount Raju needs: Raju has Rs. 9000, which is 75% of the total amount he needs to buy the mobile. To find the total price (100%), we divide Rs. 9000 by 0.75: Total cost = 9000/0.75=120009000 / 0.75 = 12000 So, the mobile costs Rs. 12,000.

Raju borrows Rs. 2000 from a friend. Now, he has Rs. 9000 + Rs. 2000 = Rs. 11,000.

He needs Rs. 12,000 but has only Rs. 11,000. So, Raju still does not have enough money to buy the mobile.

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