Ratio & Proportion question 7
The incomes of Ajay and Vijay are in the ratio 4 : 3 and their expenditures are in the ratio 3 : 2. If each saves ₹6,000, what is Ajay's income?
- ₹24,000
- ₹18,000
- ₹30,000
- ₹36,000
Answer and explanation
Answer: A. ₹24,000
Explanation: Let incomes be 4x, 3x and expenditures 3y, 2y. Then 4x − 3y = 6,000 and 3x − 2y = 6,000, which give x = y = 6,000. Ajay's income = 4 × 6,000 = ₹24,000.
