Question

The expenditure of a man is 5/6th of his income and he saves Rs. 2000. What is his income?


​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let his income be x. Then,

according to question

5/6x + 1/12x + 5000 = x

10x + x/12 + 5000 = x

11x/12 + 5000 = x

5000 = x - 11x/12

5000 = 12x - 11x/12

5000 = x/12

x = 5000×12

x = 60000.

Hence, his income is ₹60,000.
