Step-by-step explanation:
1st method
let the total money be x rupees
A/q
= x-(x/4+x/3+x/8)
now taking LCM of 4,3&8, we get 24
= x-(6x+8x+3x)/24
= x-17x/24
= (24x-17x)/24
= 7x/24
Therefore, 7/24 part of money is left with him.
2nd shortcut method
add all the fractions
1/4+1/3/1/8= 17/24
Now Subtract 17/24 from 1, we get
= 1-17/24
= (24-17)/24
= 7/24 ans.
