40% of Ranita’s income is equal to 56% of Bhaskar’s income. If Ranita’s income was ₹800 more than what it is and Bhaskar’s income was ₹ 2,000 more than what it is, then the ratio of the incomes of Ranita and Bhaskar would have been 4 : 3. What is the actual combined income of Ranita and Bhaskar?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Let Ranita income = x & Bhaskar income = y
According to question ,
40% of Ranita's income = 56% of Bhaskar's income
Ranita's income : Bhaskar's income = 7 : 5
Now ,
New income of Ranita = 7R+ 800
New income of Bhaskar = 5R + 2000
\(\frac{7R+800}{5R+2000}\) = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
21R + 2400 = 20R + 8000
R = 5600
Total income = 7R + 5R = 12R
= 12 × 5600 = 67200
So , Total Income = 67200
