Question:

The ratio of income of Dusyant and Kuldeep is 3:4 and the ratio of their expenditure is 2:3. If 90% of Kuldeep's expenditure is equal to the income of Dusyant, then what is the ratio of the savings of Dusyant and Kuldeep?

Options:

i) 1:2

ii) 1:1

iii) 3:4

iv) 7:6

Correct Answer:

iv) 7:6

Explanation:

                  Dusyant       :        Kuldeep

income            3x           :            4x

Exp                 2y           :            3y

                       3y × 90% = 3x

                                9y  =  10x

⇒                  x = 9, y = 10

income           3 × 9      :        4 × 9

exp.               2 × 10    :        3 × 10

savings                  7      :        6
