Question

ratio of income of Ramesh and Mahesh is 3:4 and the ratio of their expenditure is 5:8 if Ramesh saves 2500and mahesh saves 2000 find the sum of income of mahesh and ramesh​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the income of two people.

Then ratio of income of two people is 3x:4x.

Let y be the expenditure of two people.

Then ratio of their expenditure is 5y:8y.

So 3x-5y=2500.....eq1

4x-8y=2000......eq2

By using elimination method, solve it

4(eq1) 12x-20y=7500

3(eq2) 12x-24y=6000

We can get x=1250& y=375
