  • Options

  • B. ? 4500
  • C. ? 6300
  • D. ? 5400

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 6300 

    Explanation

    Let the income of two persons are 7k and 3k
    Expenditure of first person = 7k - 300
    Expenditure of second person = 3k - 300
    According to the question,
    (7k - 300)/(3k - 300) = 5/2
    ? 14k - 600 = 15k - 1500
    ? k = 900
    Income of first person = 7k = 7 x 900
    = ? 6300
