Area of Lake E is greater than the area of Lake O, which is greater than 57,800 km2
Thus, we can rule out 76,760 km2 and 57,800 km2.
Area of Lake E is smaller than area of Lake M, which is smaller than 18,960 km2
Thus, we can rule out 18,960 km2.

1. Firstly, Armaan needs to identify the cost of the movie and the cost of the book.
Example:
Cost of the book = `800
Cost of the movie = `500
2. Then, he needs to find the sum of the costs of the movie and the book.
Example:
`800 + `500 = `1300
3. Lastly, he should find the difference between `2800 and the sum of the costs of
the movie and the book.
Example:
`2800 `1300 = `1500
By following this order he will be able to find the amount of money he saved.
