    Solution

    ATQ,

    Income of Mr. Dinesh = [(100 - p) Ă· 100] Ă— 36,000 = Rs. (36,000 - 360p)

    Expenditure of Mr. Dinesh = Income of Dinesh - Savings of Dinesh = 36,000 - 360p - 5,400 = Rs. (30,600 - 360p)

    So, 30,600 - 360p = 27,000

    ⇒ 360p = 3,600

    ⇒ p = 10

    Savings of Mr. Chandu = (5,400 Ă· 0.9) = Rs. 6,000

    Therefore, Expenditure of Mr. Chandu = Income - Savings = 36,000 - 6,000 = Rs. 30,000
