Answer 1

Given,
Seema's earning in a year $=₹1,50,000$
Seema's savings in a year $=₹50,000$

(a) The ratio of the money that Seema earns to the money she saves $=\frac{₹1,50,000}{₹50,000}$$=\frac{3\times 50000}{50000}$$=\frac{3}{1}$$=3:1$

(b) Now, money spent by Seema $=₹150000-₹50000=₹100000$
[1 mark]
$\therefore$ The ratio of the money that she saves to the money she spends $=\frac{₹50,000}{₹1,00,000}$$=\frac{50000}{2\times 50000}$$=\frac{1}{2}$$=1:2$
