    A Rs. 20,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 26,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 36,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 16,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 20,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ; Let the income of ‘Anuj’ be Rs. ‘100x’ and income of ‘Bhuvan’ be Rs. ‘100y’ Expense of ‘Anuj’ = 0.80 × 100x = Rs. ‘80x’ Expense of ‘Bhuvan’ = 0.70 × 100y = Rs. ‘70y’ ATQ; 100x – 80x = 4200 Or, 20x = 4200 So, x = 210 100y – 70y = 4200 Or, 30y = 4200 Or, y = 140 So, required sum = (80 × 210) + (70 × 140) = 16800 + 9800 = Rs. 26,600
