The monthly incomes of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 4 and the ratio of their monthly expenditures is 2 : 3. If each saves Rs. 4000 per month, then what is the income of B? Correct Answer Rs. 16000
Let the monthly income of A and B be 3x and 4x
And the monthly expenditures be 2y and 3y
Saving = income – expenditure
4000 = 4x – 3y ----(1)
Similarly,
4000 = 3x – 2y ----(2)
From 2 × (1) – 3 × (2)
8000 – 12000 = 8x – 9x
x = 4000
The income of B = 4x = 16000
∴ The income of B is 16000.
