Nikunj spent 1/5 of ₹490 and ruhi spent 1/10 of 450. Who spent more and by how much?

To determine who spent more and by how much, we can calculate the amounts Nikunj and Ruhi spent individually:

1. **Amount Nikunj spent:**
   \[
   \text{Nikunj's spending} = \frac{1}{5} \times 490 = \frac{490}{5} = 98 \text{ (₹)}
   \]

2. **Amount Ruhi spent:**
   \[
   \text{Ruhi's spending} = \frac{1}{10} \times 450 = \frac{450}{10} = 45 \text{ (₹)}
   \]

Now, comparing the two amounts:
- Nikunj spent ₹98.
- Ruhi spent ₹45.

**Nikunj spent more than Ruhi.**

To find out by how much:
\[
\text{Difference} = 98 - 45 = 53 \text{ (₹)}
\]

**Nikunj spent ₹53 more than Ruhi.**
