  • Question
  • Salary of A and B is in ration 3:4 and expenditure is in ratio 4:5. What is the ratio of their saving?
    I. B's saving is 25% of his salary.
    II. B's salary is ? 2500.


  • Options
  • A. if the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
  • B. if the data in Statements II alone is sufficient to answer the question but the data in Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
  • C. if the data in Statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
  • D. if the data in Statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

  • Correct Answer
  • if the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. 

    Explanation

    Given that their salaries are in the ratio of 3:4 and expenditure is in the ratio of 4:5 hence we can assume that salary of A and B are 3x and 4x and their expenditures are 4y and 5y.
    Now we need to find the ratio of (3x - 4y)/(4x - 5y)
    Consider statement I alone:
    Giving of B is 25% of his salary hence his expenditure must be 75% so 3/4(4x) = 5y or 3x = 5y from this we can find the required ratio hence this statement is sufficient.
    Consider statement II alone :
    Given that 4x = 2000 or x = 500 but from this we can not find the value of y and hence we can not find the ratio of their savings.
