Question

The incomes of $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $3:2$ and their expenditures in the ratio $5:3$. If each saves $Rs1500$, then $B^{\prime }s$ income is

• A. $Rs6000$
• B. $Rs4700$
• C. $Rs3000$
• D. $Rs7500$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $Rs6000$

Savings=Income-Expenses

A...$1500=3x-5y$

B...$1500=2x-3y$

Solving both the equations, we get,

$x=3000$

Therefore B's savings $=2x=2\times 3000=Rs.6000$
