      Solution

      ATQ, Let, income and expenditure of ‘Pawan’ be Rs. ‘5p’ and ‘2p’, respectively And, income and expenditure of ‘Qureshi’ be Rs. ‘5q’ and Rs. ‘3q’, respectively. ATQ, 5p – 2p = 1500 Or, 3p = 1500 Or, p = 1500/3 = 500 Also, 5p + 5q = 5500 Or, p + q = 1100 So, q = 1100 – 500 = 600 Therefore, expenditure of ‘Qureshi’ = 3 × 600 = Rs.1,800
