    D Rs.4,050 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the expenditure of 'Bhuvan' be Rs.'100b' So, income of 'Anoop' = 10b × 1.6 = Rs. '160b' And saving of 'Chetan' = 160b ÷ 2.5 = Rs. '64b' Expenditure of 'Anoop' = 100b × (4/5) = Rs. '80b' And expenditure of 'Chetan' = 80b × (4/4) = Rs. '80b' So, saving of 'Anoop' = 160b - 80b = Rs. '80b' So, income of 'Bhuvan' = 80b × 3 = Rs. '240b' And saving of 'Bhuvan' = 240b - 100b = Rs. '140b' ATQ; 140b - 64b = 3800 Or, 76b = 3800 So, b = 50 So, saving of 'Anoop' = 50 × 80 = Rs.4,000
