  • Question
  • The ratio of incomes of two persons is 8 : 5 and the ratio of their expenditure i 2 : 1. If each of them manages to save ? 1000 per month, find the difference of their monthly income


  • Options
  • A. ? 2500
  • B. ? 1500
  • C. ? 1000
  • D. ? 700

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 1500 

    Explanation

    Let the incomes of two persons be 8x and 5x and their expenditure be 2y and y , respectively.
    ? Saving = Income - Expenditure
    ? 1000 = 8x - 2y ...(i)
    and 1000 = 5x - y ...(ii)


    On multiplying Eq. (ii) by 2 and subtracting from Eq. . (i) , we get
    8x - 2y = 1000
    10x - 2y = 2000
    ----------------------
    -2x = -1000
    ? x = 500

    ? Monthly incomes are
    8x = ? 4000 and
    5x = ? 2500

    ? Difference = ? 4000 - 2500 = ? 1500
