    Let a man have = ₹ N.
    Remainder money, after losses 20% of his money
    = N - 20% of N

    Remainder money, after spending 25% of his remainder money
    = 4N/5 - 25% of (4N/5)

    Correct Option: C

    Let a man have = ₹ N.
    Remainder money, after losses 20% of his money
    = N - 20% of N
    = N - (N x 20)/100
    = (5N - N)/5
    = 4N/5

    Remainder money, after spending 25% of his remainder money
    = 4N/5 - 25% of (4N/5)
    = 4N/5 - (4N/5) x (25/100)
    = 4N/5 - N/5
    = (4N - N)/5
    = 3N/5

    According to the question,
    3N/5 = 480
    ⇒ x = 480 x 5/3 = ₹ 800
