SSC CGL - 11 April 2022 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q58

The ratio of the monthly incomes of A and B is 11 : 13 and the ratio of their expenditures is 9 : 11. If both of them manage to save Rs 4,000 per month, then find the difference in their incomes (in Rs).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 4,000

The ratio of the income of A : B = 11 : 13

The ratio of the expenditure A : B = 9 : 11

Income - Expenditure = Savings 

So, saving of each person (11 - 9) = 4000 = (13 - 11)

2 = 4000

1 = 2000

So, the difference in their incomes = (13 - 11) × 2000 = Rs 4000
