    Solution

    ATQ, Let monthly expenditure of ‘Ankita’ and ‘Mamta’ is Rs. ‘9a’ and Rs. ‘5a’ respectively. And, monthly savings of ‘Ankita’ and ‘Mamta’ is Rs. ‘7b’ and Rs. ‘4b’ respectively. So, 9a + 7b = 21300......................(1) And, 5a + 4b = 12000......................(2) Solving equation (1) and (2), we get; a = 1200 and b = 1500 Monthly expenditure of ‘Ankita’ = 9 × 1200 = Rs. 10800 Monthly savings of ‘Mamta’ = 4 × 1500 = Rs. 6000 Required percentage = [(10800 – 6000)/6000] × 100 = 80%
