  1. A and B have monthly incomes in the ratio 5 : 6 and monthly expenditures in the ratio 3 : 4. If they save ₹ 1800 and ₹ 1600 respectively, find the monthly income of B :
    1. ₹ 3400
    2. ₹ 2700
    3. ₹ 1720
    4. ₹ 7200
Correct Option: D

Given

Monthly income of A
=
5
Monthly income of B6

∴  Monthly income of A = 5x
and that of B = 6x (x is a constant)
According to the question
5x − 1800
=
3
6x − 16004

20x – 7200 = 18x – 4800
2x = 2400
∴  x = 1200
∴  Monthly income of B
= 1200 × 6 = ₹ 7200
