First, find 1/9th of 450. That's 50, because 450/9. So, you spent 50 on chocolate, meaning you now have 400.
You spent 2/5ths on chocolate. Let's divide 400 by 5 to find 1/5 - that's 80 - then multiply that by 2 to get 2/5 - that's 160.
So, you spent 50 on chocolate, and 160 on fruit. Add these together, to get 210. That's how much you spent altogether.
450 (total initial money) - 210 (total spent money) = 240 (money remaining).
If ajay spent 1/9 of his pocket money of Rs.450 on chocolates and 2/5 on fruits. How much money is left with him?

I read it as meaning that 2/5 of the original amount was spent on fruits, giving:
50 on chocolate
180 on fruit
then subtract all that from the original 450.
50 on chocolate
