Monthly income of wife = Rs. 5400
And, Monthly income of man = 5400+600 = Rs. 6000
Explanation:
Given,
A man earns ₹600.per month more than his wife one tenth of the men salary and one -sixth of the wife salary amount to ₹1500.
To find: Income of man and wife saved every month.
Concept Involved: Through the use of question's language we will form equations and solving those equations will get us the resultant.
Solution:
Let the monthly income of wife be x.
then, monthly income of man will be (x + 600)
Now, According to question,
1 (x + 600) / 10 + 1(x) / 6 = 1500
or, [ 3(x+600) + 5x] / 30 = 1500
or, 8x + 1800 = 1500 * 30
or, 8x = 45000 - 1800
or, x = 43200/8
or, x = 5400.
Therefore, Monthly income of wife = Rs. 5400
And, Monthly income of man = 5400+600 = Rs. 6000
