Question : 1

The annual income of A and B are in the ratio 4 : 3 and the ratio of their expenditures is 3 : 2. If each of them saves Rs.600 in the year, the annual income of A is

a) Rs.1200

b) Rs.2400

c) Rs.1800

d) Rs.4800

Answer: (b)

Let the annual income of A and B be Rs.4x and Rs.3x respectively.

Also let their annual expenditures be Rs.3y and Rs.2y respectively

According to question,

4x - 3y = 600 ...(i)

3x - 2y = 600 ...(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii)

4x - 3y = 3x - 2y ⇒ x = y

From equation (i)

4x - 3x = 600 ⇒ x = 600

Annual income of A

= 4x = 4 × 600 = Rs.2400

Question : 2

Annual incomes of Amit and Veeri are in the ratio 3:2, while the ratio of their expenditure is 5 : 3. If at the end of the year each saves Rs.1,000, the annual income of Amit is

b) Rs.6,000

c) Rs.8,000

d) Rs.9,000

Answer: (b)

Amit’s income = Rs.3x

and his expenditure = Rs.5y

Veeri’s income = Rs.2x

and his expenditure = Rs.3y

3x - 5y = 2x - 3y

x = 2y

3x - 5y = 1000

6y - 5y = 1000

y = 1000

x = 2000

Amit’s income = 3x

= 3 × 2000 = Rs.6000

x = 100000

B’s monthly income
