Let a and b represent salaries of A and B respectively
then $$a+b=40000$$...(I)
After spending 85% of his salary, savings of A will be = (0.15)a
After spending 95% of his salary, savings of A will be = (0.05)b
Their saving are equal, therefore (0.15)a = (0.05b) or 3a=b ...(II)
Solving eqn (I)and (II) we get a = 10,000
