    Solution

    ATQ, Let the income of ‘Amit’ and ‘Bittu’ be Rs.‘5a’ and Rs.‘8a’, respectively. And, let the expenditure of ‘Amit’ and ‘Bittu’ be Rs.‘4b’ and Rs.‘7b’, respectively. ATQ; (8a – 7b) – (5a – 4b) = 6000 Or, 3a – 3b = 6000 So, (a – b) = 2000 We can’t uniquely determine the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’ hence the answer cannot be determined.
