Question

Salary of A and B are in the ratio 2:3 and their expenditures are in the ratio 1:2. If each of them

saves Rs.24000 per month, find the monthly salary of A?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the salaries of A and B be 2x and 3x

and,

let the savings of A and B be 1y and 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

Now salary - expenditure = saving

=> 2x- y = 24000 ................(1)

and,3x- 2y= 24000.................(2)

now subtracting (2) from (1)

for that we must multiply eq (1) ×2

=> 4x - 2y = 48000........... ( multiplying by 2(

3x - 2y = 24000

=>x = 24000

=> 2(24000) - y = 24000

=> y = 24000

.

. . salary of A = 2x = 2 ( 24000)= 48000
