Question

    The combined income of Aman and Bhanu is Rs. 32,000, and

    Aman's expenses exceed Bhanu's by Rs. 2,000. Given that Bhanu saves Rs. 10,000, what is the total amount of Aman's income and expenses?
    A Rs.14000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.24000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.20000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.16000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the income of Aman and Bhanu be Rs. 'a' and Rs. 'b' respectively. Let the expenditure of Aman and Bhanu be Rs. 'c' and Rs. 'd' respectively. ATQ: a + b = 32000 .....(i) c - d = 2000 .....(ii) Adding (i) and (ii) : We get, a + b + c - d = 34000 Or, a + c + b - d = 34000 Or, a + c = 34000 - 10000 (since, saving of 'Bhanu' = b - d = 10000) Or, a + c = 24000 So, the sum of income and expenditure of 'Aman' = Rs. 24000
