      Solution

      ATQ, Sum of incomes of 'Ishan' and 'John' = 60,000 × 2 = Rs. 1,20,000 Sum of expenditures of 'Ishan' and 'John' = 38,000 × 2 = Rs. 76,000 So, sum of savings of 'Ishan' and 'John' = 1,20,000 - 76,000 = Rs. 44,000 Let the savings of 'John' be Rs. '100y' So, savings of 'Ishan' = 1.50 X 100y = Rs. '150y' Now, 100y + 150y = 44,000 Or, 250y = 44,000 So, 'y' = 176 Therefore, savings of 'Ishan' = 150 × 176 = Rs. 26,400
