  1. Ratio between the monthly incomes of A and B is 9 : 8 and the ratio between their expenditures is 8 : 7. If they save ₹ 500 each, find A’s monthly income.
    1. ₹ 3,500
    2. ₹ 4,000
    3. ₹ 4,500
    4. ₹ 5,000
Correct Option: C

If the ratio of the income of A and B be a : b and that of their expenses be c : d and each saves ₹ x, then,

A’s income =
ax(d − c)
ad − bc

=
9 × 500(7 − 8)
9 × 7 − 8 × 8

= 9 × 500 = ₹ 4500
