Incomes of Rajiv and Mohan are in the ratio 5:6 and their expenditures are in the ratio 235:278. If Rajiv saves Rs.1000 and Mohan saves Rs.2000, then find the income of Rajiv?

• A. Rs. 40000
• B. Rs. 42000
• C. Rs. 48000
• D. Rs. 50000

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Rs. 48000

Let the income of Rajiv and Mohan are Rs.5x and Rs.6x respectively. (5x – 1000)/(6x – 2000) = 235/278 => 1390x – 278000 = 1410x – 470000 => 192000 = 20x => x = 9600 Income of Rajiv = 5x = 5 * 9600 = Rs. 48000
