The income of A is 20% less than the income of B and the income of C is 70% of the sum of incomes of A and B. The income of D is 25% more than the income of C. If the difference between the incomes of B and D is ₹23000, then what is the income(in ₹) of A? |
28000 26000 32000 25000 |
32000 |
The income of A is 20% less than the income of B so , A : B = 4 : 5 Let income of A = 40 & Income of B = 50 The income of C is 70% of the sum of incomes of A and B = 70% of 90 = \(\frac{7}{10}\) × 90 = 63 The income of D is 25% more than the income of C = 63 × \(\frac{5}{4}\) = \(\frac{315}{4}\) A : B : C : D = 4x : 5x : 63 : \(\frac{315}{4}\) A : B : C : D = 160 : 200 : 252 : 315 The difference between the income of B & D = (315 - 200 )x = 115x According to question , 115x = 23000 x = 200 Income of A = 160 × 200 = 32000 |
