    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let incomes be Rs. 6x and Rs. 5x.

    Savings of Tanu = 6x × 0.2 = Rs. 1.2x

    Expenditure of Tanu = 6x - 1.2x = Rs. 4.8x

    Expenditure of Manu = 4.8x × 0.9 = Rs. 4.32x

    Savings of Manu = 5x - 4.32x = Rs. 0.68x

    ATQ,

    (1.2x - 0.68x) = 9,000

    ⇒ 0.52x = 9,000

    ⇒ x = 17,308

    Income of Manu = 5x = Rs. 86,540
