Question 71

The sum of the salaries of A and B together is ₹45000. A spends 85% ofhis salary and B, 70% ofhis salary. If now their savings are the same, what is B’s salary (in ₹)?

Solution

given sum of the salaries of A and B is 45000

A spends 85% of his salary ,that means 15% is saved

B spends 70% of his salary ,that means 30%is saved

given that savings of both A and B is same

so 15% of A = 30% of B

We get $$\frac{A}{B}=\frac{2}{1}$$

but A+B=45000

2B+B=45000

3B=45000

B=15000

Hence answer is option C
