Question

The monthly incomes of two friends Anuj and Mathew, are in the ratio 5:7 and each of them saves ₹10,000 every month. If the ratio of their expenditure is 2: 3, find the income of Anuj.

• A. 20,000
• B. 15,000
• C. 50,000
• D. 5,000

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 50,000

income ratio $=5:7$

expenditure ratio $=2:3$

$\frac{2x+10000}{3x+10000}=\frac57$

$14x+70000=15x+50000$

$x=20000$

$2\times 20000+10000=50000$
