₹25,000 ₹35,000 ₹45,000 ₹15,000 |
₹35,000 |
Ramesh : Suresh Income 5 : 7 Expenditure 1 : 2 ⇒ As savings of both of them is same so, making the difference in their income and exp. ratio same, we multiply exp. with 2, ⇒ (1 : 2) x 2 = 2 : 4 ⇒ Savings = (5 - 2) = 3 units = Rs. 15000 ⇒ 1 unit = Rs. 5000 ⇒ Income of Suresh = 7 x 5000 = Rs. 35000. |
