Question:

The incomes of Ramesh and Suresh are in the ratio of 5 : 7, and their expenditures are in the ratio of 1 : 2. If each of them saves ₹15,000, then what is Suresh's income?

Options:

₹25,000

₹35,000

₹45,000

₹15,000

Correct Answer:

₹35,000

Explanation:

                 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.
