Question

A and B earn in the ratio 2:1. They spend in the ratio 5:3 and save in the ratio 4:1. If the total monthly savings of both A and B are Rs.5,000, the monthly income of B is-​

Answer 1

Solution :-

Let the monthly income of B be Rs. x.

We know,

Monthly income of A = Rs. 2x

Saving of A =5000 × $\dfrac{4}{(4 + 1)}$

= Rs. 4000

Saving of B = Rs. 1000

We know that 2x – $\dfrac{4000}{x-1000}$ = $\dfrac{5}{3}$

=> 6x – 12000 = 5x – 5000

We know,

x = Rs. 7000
