Question:

Rahul spends some part of his income and saves the remaining part. The ratio of his expenditure and saving is 5 : 4. If Rahul's income is Rs. 36000, then what will be his expenditure ?

Options:

Rs. 15000

Rs. 25000

Rs. 20000

Rs 16000

Correct Answer:

Rs. 20000

Explanation:

Expenditure = 5R

Saving = 4R

Income = 5R + 4R = 9R = 36000

⇒ 1R = 4000

Expenditure = 5R = 5 x 4000 = 20000
