The monthly income of A is Rs.10500 and B is Rs.15000.

Given:

The monthly income of A and B are in the ratio 7:5. Their expenditures are in the ratio 3:2. Each of them saves Rs.1500 per month.

To Find:

The monthly income of both A and B.

Solution:

Let 7x is the monthly income of A and 5x is the monthly income of B. Also, let their expenditures be 3y and 2y.

Write two equations for the saving amount of A and B.

7x-3y=1500\,\,\,\, ...(1)

5x-2y=1500\,\,\,\, ...(2)

To solve equations (1) and (2) find the value of x from the first equation.

7x=1500+3y\\x=\frac{1500+3y}{7}

Substitute \frac{1500+3y}{7} for x into the equation (2) and simplify to find y.

5(\frac{1500+3y}{7}) -2y=1500\\\frac{7500+15y}{7}-2y=1500\\ 7500+15y-14y=10500\\y=3000

Substitute 3000 for y into the equation and find x.

x=\frac{1500+3\cdot 3000}{7}\\=\frac{1500+9000}{7}\\ =\frac{10500}{7}\\ =1500

Substitute 1500 for x into 7x and find the monthly income of A.

7(1500)=10500

Substitute 3000 for y into 5x and find the monthly income of B.

5(3000)=15000

Thus, the monthly income of A and B are Rs.10500 and Rs.15000 respectively.
