Question

The ratio of income to expenditure of a family is 18:15. Find the savings if the income of the family is ₹81,000.

• A. ₹12750
• B. ₹15000
• C. ₹13500
• D. ₹17500

Answer 1

Answer:

C. ₹13500

Income : Expenditure = 18 : 15

Income = ₹81,000

Let the common factor be (x):

18x = 81,000
$\Rightarrow x = \frac{81,000}{18} = 4,500$

$Expenditure = (15x = 15 \times 4,500 = 67,500)$

Savings = Income − Expenditure

$= 81,000 - 67,500 = 13,500$

Final Answer: ₹13,500
