Question 59

The ratio of monthly incomes of Pawan and Sunil is 4 : 3 and the ratio of their monthly expenditures is 3 : 2. If Pawan and Sunil save ₹ 4000 and ₹ 6000 respectively per month, then what is the sum of their monthly incomes?

Solution

Let the salaries of Pawan and Sunil be 4x and 3x . Also , their expenditure be 3y and 2y.

So , their respective savings would be (4x -3y ) and (3x - 2y).

4x - 3y = 4000

3x - 2y = 6000

Solving the equations , we get x = 10000

Their total monthly salary will be (4x+3x) = 70000

So, the answer would be option b)₹ 70000
