Solution :-
Let the incomes of 'a' and 'b' be 3x and 5x
Increment in the next month in the incomes of 'a' and 'b' Rs. 300 and Rs. 400 respectively.
Difference between their respective incomes after increment = Rs. 500
So, according to the question.
⇒ 3x + 300 + 500 = 5x + 400
⇒ 3x - 5x = 400 - 500 - 300
⇒ - 2x = - 400
⇒ 2x = 400
⇒ x = 200
So, income of 'a' after increment = (3*200) + 300
= 600 + 300
= Rs. 900
Income of 'b' after increment = (5*200) + 400
= 1000 + 400
= 1400
New ratio of incomes of 'a' and 'b' = 900 : 1400
= 9 : 14
Answer.
Let the incomes of 'a' and 'b' be 3x and 5x
Increment in the next month in the incomes of 'a' and 'b' Rs. 300 and Rs. 400 respectively.
Difference between their respective incomes after increment = Rs. 500
So, according to the question.
⇒ 3x + 300 + 500 = 5x + 400
⇒ 3x - 5x = 400 - 500 - 300
⇒ - 2x = - 400
⇒ 2x = 400
⇒ x = 200
So, income of 'a' after increment = (3*200) + 300
= 600 + 300
= Rs. 900
Income of 'b' after increment = (5*200) + 400
= 1000 + 400
= 1400
New ratio of incomes of 'a' and 'b' = 900 : 1400
= 9 : 14
