Question

The total income of A and B is Rs 6000 A spends 60% of his income and B spends 80% of his income If their savings are equal then what is the income of A?

• A. 2000
• B. 2400
• C. 2600
• D. 2800

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2000

Let A's income is =x Rs.
Then B's income=(6000-x) Rs.
A's saving=$x-\frac{60x}{100}=\frac{40x}{100}$
B's saving=$\left[\right(6000-x)-\frac{80(6000-x)}{100}]$
$=\frac{20(6000-x)}{100}$
According to the question
$\Rightarrow \frac{40x}{100}=\frac{20(6000-x)}{100}$
$\Rightarrow 60x=20\times 6000$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{20\times 6000}{60}=2000Rs.$
