The income of two persons A and B are in a ratio 8 : 11 And the ratio of their savings is 7 : 9. If the expenditure of A and B is Rs. 25000 and Rs. 35000, respectively, then what is the income (in Rs.) of B?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 44000.
Given:
The income of two persons A and B are in ratio 8 : 11
The ratio of their savings is 7 : 9.
The expenditure of A and B is Rs. 25000 and Rs. 35000
Concept used:
Income = expenditure + savings
Calculations:
Let the income of A and B be 8x and 11x
Let the savings of A and B be 7y and 9y
Expenditure of A = 8x - 7y = 25000 ---- (1)
Expenditure of B = 11x - 9y = 35000 ---- (2)
Solving both equations we get
x = 4000 and y = 1000
Income of B = 11x = 11 × 4000 = 44000
