1.     Talat has Rs 1400 left after spending 30% of her money. Find what sum she had originally.

Let's denote the total amount of money Talat originally had as \( x \).

According to the problem, after spending 30% of her money, Talat has Rs 1400 left. This means she has spent 70% of her money. Mathematically, this can be represented as:

\[ x - 0.30x = 1400 \]

Simplifying this equation:

\[ 0.70x = 1400 \]

To find \( x \), we divide both sides by 0.70:

\[ x = \frac{1400}{0.70} \]

\[ x = 2000 \]

Therefore, Talat originally had Rs 2000.
