Earn in 3 months: 363*3 rs
Spend in 4 months: 363*3 rs
Earn in 4 months: 363*4 rs
SAVE in 4 months: 363*4-363*3 rs
The amount the man saves in 12 years is 3(363*4-363*3)*12 because 12 months per year and given years to save was 12 years.
Simplify amount saved expression:
rs.
rs. Call this saved quantity, V.
