    The income of ‘M’ is twice more than that of

    ‘N’. The expenditure of ‘M’ is Rs. 2000, which is twice that of ‘N’. If the savings of ‘M’ is 5 times that of ‘N’, then find the income of ‘M’.

    B Rs.4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.3200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.4500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the income of ‘N’ be Rs. ‘x’ Therefore, income of ‘M’ = x + 2x = Rs. 3x Expenditure of ‘N’ = 2000/2 = Rs. 1000 According to the question, 3x – 2000 = 5 × (x – 1000) Or, 3x – 2000 = 5x – 5000 Or, 2x = 3000 Or, x = 1500 Therefore, income of ‘M’ = 3x = Rs. 4500
