Question:

The ratio of monthly incomes of Ram and Rahim is 4 : 3 and the ratio of their monthly expenditures is 3 : 2. If each saves ₹5000 per month, then what are the respective monthly incomes of Ram and Rahim?

Options:

₹12000 and ₹9000

₹10000 and ₹7500

₹16000 and ₹12000

₹20000 and ₹15000

Correct Answer:

₹20000 and ₹15000

Explanation:

                    Ram : Rahim

Income            4   :    3

Expenditure      3   :    2

Savings             1  :    1

⇒ Both saves equal amount i.e; Rs. 5000

⇒ 1 unit = Rs. 5000,

⇒ Therefore Ram's salary = 4 x 5000 = Rs. 20,000

and Rahim's salary = 3 x 5000 = Rs. 15000.
