Answer:
Let the monthly income of one person be 4x and that of the other be 5x
Let the monthly expenses of one person be 7y and that of other be 9y
According to the question,
4x−7y=50........(1)
5x−9y=50........(2)
On solving both equations, we get
y=50
x=100
Therefore,
Monthly income of one person
=4×100=400
Monthly income of the other person
=5×100=500
So, the sum of their monthly incomes
=400+500=900
Hence, this is the answer.
