Question:

The incomes of Ram and Shyam are in the ratio 5 : 4 and their expenditures are in the ratio 4 : 3 . If each save Rs.1500, then what are their incomes?

Options:

5000,7500

7500, 6000

4500,6000

6000,7500

Correct Answer:

7500, 6000

Explanation:

* Income -  savings = Expenditure

Let Income of Ram & Shyam = 5R & 4R

ATQ,

⇒ \(\frac{5R - 1500}{4R - 1500}\) = \(\frac{4}{3}\)

⇒ 15R - 4500 = 16R - 6000

⇒ R = 1500

Now,

Income of Ram = 5 × 1500 = 7500/-,

Income of Shyam = 4 × 1500 = 6000/-
