Question

Avinash works as a lecturer and earns Rs 12000 per month. His wife who is a doctor earns Rs 15000 per month. Find the following ratios:

(i) Avinash's income to the income of his wife
(ii) Avinash's income to their total income.

Answer 1

Avinash's income = Rs. 12000
Avinash's wife income = Rs. 15000

Total income = 12000 + 15000 = Rs. 27000

(i) Ratio of Avinash's income to the income of his wife = 12000 : 15000 = 4 : 5
(ii) Ratio of Avinash's income to their total income = 12000 : 27000 = 4 : 9
