Options:

Rs. 2,900

Rs. 2,000

Rs. 4,900

Rs. 3,900

Correct Answer:

Rs. 2,900

Explanation:

                      Jitendra  :  Narendra 

Income                4       :     7                  

Expenditure         6       :      5

____________________________

 

Income of Jitendra = 2,800 = 4R

1R = 700

∴ Income of Narendra = 7R = 7 x 700 = 4,900

Savings of Jitendra = 400, Expenditure = 2800 - 400 = 2400 = 6a

1a = 400

∴ Expenditure of Narendra = 5a = 5 x 400 = 2000

Therefore, Saving of Narendra = 4900 - 2000 = 2,900
