• A. 4000
• B. 2000
• C. 3000
• D. 5000

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 2000

$$Let the income of A and B be 3x and 2x</p><p style="color: rgb(0,0,0); margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px" data-pxy="true">$$Income-expenditure = savings

$3x-14000=4000$

$3x=18000$

$x=6000$

Income of $B=2x$

Savings of B is $=2x-10000$

$=(2\times{6000})-10000$

$=12000-10000$

$=2000$
