Answer 1

Answer:

A's income is Rs 30,000

Explanation:

Let incomes of A and B be 3x and 2x

And their expenditure be 5y and 3y

• Each of them saves Rs 5,000
• 3x-5y=5,000 - (1)
• 2x-3y=5,000 - (2)
• Multiplying equation (1) with '2' and equation (2) with'3'
• 6x-10y=10,000 - (3)
• 6x-9y=15,000 - (4)
• Subtracting equation (3) from equation (4), we get... Y=5,000
• Substituting in equation (1),we get... X=10000
• Ans :Total income of A=3x=3*10,000=30,000
• And income of B will be 2x=2*10,000 = 20,000
