Anand's income is ₹ 140 more than Biren's income and Chandu's income is ₹ 80 more than Deepak's. If the ratio of Anand's & Chandu's income is 2 : 3 and the ratio of Biren's and Deepak's income is 1 : 2 , then the incomes of Anand, Biren, Chandu and Deepak are respectively:
Let say income of Biren and Deepak be ₹ $$x$$ and ₹ $$2x$$
So, income of Anand = ₹ $$(140+x)$$
Income of Chandu = ₹ $$(80+2x)$$
Now, the ratio of Anand's & Chandu's income is 2 : 3
So, $$\dfrac{140+x}{80+2x}=\dfrac{2}{3}$$
or, $$420+3x=160+4x$$
or, $$420-160=4x-3x$$
or, $$x=260$$
So, incomes of Anand, Biren, Chandu and Deepak = $$\left(140+x\right),x,\left(80+2x\right),2x$$
Putting $$x=260$$,
So, incomes of Anand, Biren, Chandu and Deepak = ₹$$400$$, ₹$$260$$, ₹$$600$$, ₹$$520$$
So, option C is the correct answer.
