Answer 1

Answer:

D. 91:55

Let the incomes of Ram and Shyam are Rs.17x and Rs.11x (17x – 40000)/(11x – 25000) = 3/2 34x – 80000 = 33x – 75000 x = 5000 Income of Ram = 17x = 17 * 5000 = Rs.85000 Income of Shyam = 11x = 11 * 5000 = Rs.55000 Income of Reena = 85000 + 6000 = Rs.91000 Required ratio = 91000 : 55000 = 91:55
