Answer: 1 Mark

In two weeks, Rohit's total income = Rs. (26700 + 32800) = Rs. 59500

In two weeks, Shikhar's total income = Rs. (27300 + 31600) = Rs.58900

So, after deduction Rohit's income = Rs. 59500 - 3900 = Rs.55600

After deduction Shikhar's income = Rs (58900 - 4100) = Rs. 54800.

The difference in the incomes = Rs. (55600 - 54800) = Rs.800

Hence, Rohit's income is Rs. 800 more than Shikhar's income.
