The ratio of income in two consecutive years is 2: 3 respectively. The ratio of their expenditure is 5: 9. Income of second-year is Rs 45000 and Expenditure of first-year is Rs 25000. Find the Savings in both years together. |
5000 6000 7000 8000 |
5000 |
Let the First-year income = 2x Second-year income = 3x But ATQ, Second-year income = 45000 3x = 45000 x = 45000/3 = 15000 Then, first-year income = 2 × 15000=30000 Similarly, Let the first-year expenditure = 5y ATQ, First-year expenditure =25000 5y = 25000 y = 25000/5 = 5000 Second year expenditure = 9y= 9 × 5000 = 45000 Savings = Income - Expenditure First year savings = 30000- 25000 = 5000 Similarly, Second year savings = 45000- 45000 = 0 Now, total saving in two years = 5000 + 0 = 5000 |
