    C Rs.5,18,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.4,38,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the incomes of Veer and Aryan be Rs. 12x and Rs. 9x respectively.

    Savings of Veer = 12x × (25/100) = Rs. 3x

    Expenditure of Veer = 12x - 3x = Rs. 9x

    Expenditure of Aryan = 9x × 0.6 = Rs. 5.4x

    Savings of Aryan = 9x - 5.4x = Rs. 3.6x

    ATQ,

    (3.6x - 3x) = 18,000

    ⇒ 0.6x = 18,000

    ⇒ x = 30,000

    Income of Aryan = 9x = Rs. 2,70,000
