Question
Find the Income of Suleiman? Statement I:
Suleiman's income exceeds Salman's by Rs. 8000, and Salman's savings amount to Rs. 15,000. Statement II: The income of Salman and Salma is in the ratio 9:8, while their expenditures are in the ratio 5:4. Salma's savings are Rs. 10,000 less than Suleiman's savings. The question consists of two statements I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question or not.Solution
Answer: E Statement I: Let the income of Suleiman = Rs. a So the income of Salman = (a – 8000) Savings of Salman = Rs. 15000 So, Expenditure of Salman = (a – 8000) – 15000 = a – 23000 This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Statement II: We have only ratios in this statement, so we are not able to answer the question. On combining (I and II), Income of Salma = 8/9 x (a – 8000) Expenditure of Salma = 4/5 x (a – 23000) Savings of Salma = [8/9 x (a – 8000) - 4/5 x (a – 23000)] Savings of Suleiman = [8/9 x (a – 8000) - 4/5 x (a – 23000)] + 10000 Both statements together are not sufficient to answer Hence answer is option E
