Question:

The income of Prashant and Junaid are in the ratio of 4 : 5. If each of them saves Rs. 300 per month, then the ratio of the expenditure becomes 2 : 3. Find the income of Junaid.

Options:

150

600

750

250

Correct Answer:

750

Explanation:

Income - saving = Expenditure.

Income ⇒ 4 : 5

Expenditure ⇒ 2 : 3

ATQ

⇒ \(\frac{4R -300}{5R - 300}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)

⇒ 12 R - 900 = 10R - 600

⇒ 2R = 300

⇒ 1R = 150

Hence,

Income of Junaid = 5 × 150 = 750/-
