Solution

Let's break it down:

  1. The man spends 35% of his income on food, which leaves him with 65% of his income.
  2. He then spends 25% of his income on children's education, which is 25% of 100%, so he is left with 65% - 25% = 40% of his income.
  3. He then spends 80% of the remaining income on house rent. So, he spends 80% of 40%, which is 32% of his total income.
  4. So, after spending on food, children's education, and house rent, he is left with 100% - 35% - 25% - 32% = 8% of his income.

So, the answer is a. 8%.
