      Solution

      ATQ;
      Let monthly income of ‘Pawan’, ‘Qureshi’ and ‘Ram’ be Rs. ‘4x’, Rs. ‘7x’ and Rs. 5x, respectively.
      ATQ;
      ‘4x’ = 2800
      Or, x = 700
      So, monthly income of ‘Ram’ = ‘5x = 5 × 700 = Rs. 3,500
      Let monthly expenditures of ‘Pawan’, ‘Qureshi’ and ‘Ram’ be Rs. ‘5y’, Rs. ‘4y’ and Rs. ‘8y’, respectively.
      Monthly savings of ‘Pawan’ = Rs. 800
      ATQ,
      (2800 – 5y) = 800
      Or, 5y = 2000
      So, y = 400
      So, monthly expenditure of ‘Ram’ = 8y = 4 × 400 = Rs. 3,200
      Therefore, monthly saving of ‘Ram’ = (3500 – 3200) = Rs. 300
