    Solution

    ATQ;
    Let monthly income of ‘Arjun’, ‘Rohan’ and ‘Sameer’ be Rs. ‘7x’, Rs. ‘9x’ and Rs. ‘8x’, respectively.
    ATQ;
    ‘7x’ = 21000
    Or, x = 3000
    So, monthly income of ‘Sameer’ = ‘8x = 8 × 3000 = Rs. 24,000
    Let monthly expenditures of ‘Arjun’, ‘Rohan’ and ‘Sameer’ be Rs. ‘3y’, Rs. ‘4y’ and Rs. ‘5y’, respectively.
    Monthly savings of ‘Arjun’ = Rs. 9,000
    ATQ,
    (21000 – 3y) = 9000
    Or, 3y = 12000
    So, y = 4000
    So, monthly expenditure of ‘Sameer’ = 5y = 5 × 4000 = Rs. 20,000
    Therefore, monthly saving of ‘Sameer’ = (24000 – 20000) = Rs. 4,000
