Answer 2

Let the salaries of A and B be x and y respectively..

Expenditure of A=x * 95/100

=95x/100

Saving of A=x - 95x/100

=(100x - 95x)/100

=5x/100

.............

Expenditure of B=y * 85/100

=85y/100

Saving of B=y - 85y/100

=(100y - 85y)/100

=15y/100

........

Given:

x+y=2000 - - - - - (i)

Saving of A=Saving of B

5x/100=15y/100

5x=15y

x=3y - - - - - (ii)

...........

Putting eq (ii) in eq (i)

..........

x+y=2000

3y+y=2000

4y=2000

y=500

.....

Putting y=500 in eq (i)

x=3y

x=3*500

x=1500
