The incomes of A and B are in the ratio 6 : 5 and their expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 4 . If each save Rs.2000, then what are their incomes?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
* Income - savings = Expenditure
Let Income of A & B = 6R & 5R
ATQ,
⇒ \(\frac{6R - 2000}{5R - 2000}\) = \(\frac{5}{4}\)
⇒ 24R - 8000 = 25R - 10000
⇒ R = 2000
Now,
Income of A = 6 × 2000 = 12000/-,
Income of B = 5 × 2000 = 10000/-
