The incomes of A and B are in the ratio 6 : 11. The ratio of their expenditures is 1 : 2. If A and B save ₹9,000 and ₹11,500, respectively, then the expenditure of B is:
Given,
The ratio of income = 6 : 11
The ratio of expenditure = 1 : 2
Now,
Let the income of A and B is 6x and 11x.
Then, The expenditure of A = 6x - 9000
The expenditure of B = 11x - 11500
According to Question,
$$\frac{6x-9000}{11x-11500}=\frac{1}{2}$$
$$\therefore\ 12x-18000=11x-11500$$
$$\therefore\ x=6500$$
The expenditure of B = $$\left(11\times\ 6500\right)-11500$$
$$\therefore\ 71500-11500=₹60000$$
Hence, Option D is correct.
