The ratio of Anjana's income in the year 2018 to that in 2017 is 3:5 and the ratio of Ratan's income in the year 2018 to that in 2017 is 3:2. If Rs. 10242 is the sum of the income of Anjana and Ratan in the year 2018, then find the income of Ratan in the year 2017?

Rs. 4652

Rs. 4552

Rs. 5552

Rs. 4555​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the income of Anjana in 2018 and 2017 be 3x and 5x respectively.

Let the income of Ratan in 2018 and 2017 be 3y and 2y respectively

Since, the ratio of their income in the year 2017 was 5 : 4

5x : 2y = 5 : 4

2x = y

The sum of their incomes in 2018 is Rs. 10242

3x + 3y = 10, 242

9x = 10, 242

x = 1,138 and y = 2276

Ratan's income for the year 2017 = 2y = Rs.4552
