The sum of the salaries of suresh and mahesh is 60,000. being the best friends, they spend the same amount monthly and they save the remaining. if their savings are in the ratio 5:4, what is suresh's salary?

Answer 1

60000-2×expenses = sum of savings
5x+4x=9x
if they spend 7500 each
then their savings are 25000 and 20000 respectively and salaries are 32500 and 27500
hence Suresh salary is 32500
