Rs.)?​

Answer 1

ANSWER

₹15000

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE SALARY OF A BE X

LET THE SALARY OF B BE Y

SUM OF THERE SALARY

= 45000

THEN , X+Y = 45000 (1)

SAVING OF A FROM HIS SALARY IN % = 15%

SAVING OF B FROM HIS SALARY IN%= 30%

SAVING OF A = SAVING OF B

15% OF X= 30%OF Y

15/100* X= 30/100*Y

=> X=2Y (2)

FROM EQUATION (1) AND(2)

X+Y= 45000

X=2Y

=> 2Y + Y = 45000

=> 3Y= 45000

=> Y= 15000

SALARY OF B = ₹15000
