Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's calculate the total cost of the bike and the dining table first.

The cost of the bike is ₹56,725.

The cost of the dining table is ₹8,800.

To find the total cost, we add the cost of the bike and the cost of the dining table:

₹56,725 + ₹8,800 = ₹65,525

So, the total cost of the bike and the dining table is ₹65,525.

To determine which item is costlier, we compare the costs of the bike and the dining table. In this case, the bike is costlier as it costs ₹56,725, while the dining table costs ₹8,800.

Now, let's calculate the amount that Somraj deposited in his wife's account.

He initially had ₹1,78,500 in his bank account and withdrew the entire amount along with the interest of ₹20,489. Therefore, the total amount withdrawn is:

₹1,78,500 + ₹20,489 = ₹1,98,989

From this amount, he spent ₹36,725 on the laptop, ₹8,800 on the dining table, and ₹56,725 on the bike. So, the total amount spent on these items is:

₹36,725 + ₹8,800 + ₹56,725 = ₹1,02,250

To find the amount deposited in his wife's account, we subtract the total amount spent from the total amount withdrawn:

₹1,98,989 - ₹1,02,250 = ₹96,739

Therefore, Somraj deposited ₹96,739 in his wife's account.
