The salaries of A and B are in the ratio 2 : 3. Their savings are equal. If A's expenditure is of the salary, then what percent of income does B spend?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 66.67%.
Let A's salary = ₹2x, B's salary = ₹3x
A's expenditure = × 2x = x
⇒ A's savings = 2x − x = x
Given: B's savings = A's savings = x
⇒ B's expenditure = 3x − x = 2x
Now, % of income B spends = × 100 = 66.67%
