Question : 1
The ratio of income of P and Q is 3 : 4 and the ratio of their expenditures is 2 : 3. If both of them save Rs.6000, the income of P is
a) Rs.18000
b) Rs.24000
c) Rs.12000
d) Rs.20000
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the income of P and Q be Rs.3x and Rs.4x respectively.
Again, let their expenditures be Rs.2y and Rs.3y respectively.
According to the question.
3x - 2y = 6000 ...(i)
and 4x - 3y = 6000 ...(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii)
3x - 2y = 4x - 3y
or, 4x - 3x = 3y - 2y
or, x = y
From equation (i),
3x - 2x = 6000
x = 6000
The income of P = Rs.3x
= Rs.(3 × 6000) = Rs.18000
Question : 2
Incomes of A and B are in the ratio 4 : 3 and their annual expenses in the ratio 3 : 2. If each saves Rs.60,000 at the end of the year, the annual income of A is
a) Rs.2,40,000
b) Rs.3,60,000
c) Rs.1,50,000
d) Rs.1,20,000
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the annual income of A and B be Rs.4x and Rs.3x
and their income be Rs.3y and Rs.2y. respectively.
4x - 3y = 60000 ...(i)
and 3x - 2y = 60000 ...(ii)
Clearly, 4x - 3y = 3x - 2y
x = y
From equation (i),
x = 60000
A’s annual income = 4x
= 4 × 60000 = Rs.240000
Question : 3
Between two consecutive years my income are in the ratio of 2 : 3 and expenses in the ratio 5 : 9. If my income in the second year is Rs.45000 and my expenses in the first year is Rs.25000 my total savings for the two years is :
a) Rs.10000
b) Rs.5000
c) Rs.15000
d) Nil
Answer »Answer: (b)
Income in the second year
= Rs.45000
Income in the first year
= Rs.30000
Expense in the first year
= Rs.25000
Expense in the second year
= Rs.45000
Total saving
= 75000 - 70000 = Rs.5000
Question : 4
The ratio of the incomes of A and B as well as of B and C is 3 : 2. If one third of A’s income exceeds one fourth of C's income by Rs.1000, what is B’s income in ?
a) 3500
b) 4000
c) 2500
d) 3000
Answer »Answer: (d)
A : B = 3 : 2 = 9 : 6
B : C = 3 : 2 = 6 : 4
A : B : C = 9 : 6 : 4
${9x}/3 - {4x}/4$= 1000
3x - x = 1000
2x = 1000
x = 500
B’s income = 6x
= 6 × 500 = Rs.3000
Question : 5
The income of A, B and C are in the ratio 3 : 7 : 4 and their expenses in the ratio 4 : 3 : 5. If A saves Rs.300 out of an income of Rs.2,400, the savings of B and C are :
a) Rs.2750 and Rs.1.525
b) Rs.3725 and Rs.1.525
c) Rs.1575 and Rs.2.625
d) Rs.4025 and Rs.575
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the income of A, B and C be Rs.3x, Rs.7x and Rs.4x respectively
and their expenses be Rs.4y, Rs.3y and Rs.5y respectively.
3x = 2400
x = 800
4y = 2400 - 300 = 2100
y = 525
B’s saving
= (7x - 3y)
= Rs.(7 × 800 - 3 × 525)
= Rs.(5600 - 1575) = Rs.4025
and C’s savings = Rs.(4x - 5y)
= Rs.(3200 - 2625) = Rs.575
Question : 6
The ratio of income of two persons is 5 : 3 and that of their expenditures is 9 : 5. If they save Rs.2600 and Rs.1800 respectively, their incomes are :
a) Rs.10000; Rs.6000
b) Rs.9000; Rs.5400
c) Rs.6000; Rs.3600
d) Rs.8000; Rs.4800
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the income of two persons be Rs.5x and Rs.3x respectively
and their expenditures be Rs.9y and Rs.5y respectively.
As given,
5x - 9y = 2600 ...(i)
3x - 5y = 1800 ...(ii)
By 5 × (i) - 9 × (ii) we get
25x - 27x = 13000 - 16200
- 2x = - 3200
$x = 3200/2$ = 1600
First person’s income
= Rs.(1600 × 5) = Rs.8000
Second person’s income
= 3x = Rs.(1600 × 3) = Rs.4800
