The incomes of S and T are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their expenditures are in the ratio 1 : 1. If S saves Rs 4000 and T saves Rs 22000, then what will be the income (in Rs) of S?
Let income (in Rs.) of S = $$3x$$ and income of T = $$4x$$
Let expenditure (in Rs.) of S = $$y$$ and expenditure of T = $$y$$
Savings of S = $$3x-y=4000$$ ----------(i)
Similarly, $$4x-y=22000$$ ---------(ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from (ii), => $$4x-3x=22000-4000$$
=> $$x=18000$$
$$\therefore$$ Income of S = $$3\times18000=Rs.$$ $$54,000$$
