Answer »Answer: (a)

Question : 27 [SSC Constable 2012]
If the annual income of A, B and C are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 7 and the total annual income of A and C is Rs.8,00,000, then the monthly salary of B (in Rs.) is
a) 30,000
b) 15,000
c) 25,000
d) 20,000
Answer »Answer: (c)
Let Annual Income of A, B and C be x, 3x and 7x
x + 7x = 800000
8x = 800000
x = 100000
B’s monthly income
= ${100000 × 3}/12$ = Rs.25000
Question : 28 [SSC CGL Tier-II 2012]
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
a) Rs.7,000
b) Rs.6,000
c) Rs.8,000
d) Rs.9,000
Answer »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
Question : 29 [SSC CGL Tier-1 2011]
Monthly income of A and B are in the ratio of 4 : 3 and their expenses bear the ratio 3 : 2. Each of them saves Rs.6,000 at the end of the month, then the monthly income of A is
a) Rs.30,000
b) Rs.60,000
c) Rs.24,000
d) Rs.12,000
Answer »Answer: (c)
Let the monthly income of A and B be Rs.4x and Rs.3x respectively
and their expenditures be Rs.3y and Rs.2y respectively.
4x - 3y = 6000
and 3x - 2y = 6000
4x - 3y = 3x - 2y
x = y
4x - 3y = 6000
x = 6000
A’s monthly income
= 4x = Rs.24000
Question : 30 [SSC CGL Prelim 2002]
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 »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
