    C Rs.11,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.14,520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let incomes of Amit and Sumit be 5x and 6x, respectively. Then, 5x + 6x = 44000 ⇒ 11x = 44000 ⇒ x = 4000 So, Amit’s income = 5x = Rs. 20000 Sumit’s income = 6x = Rs. 24000 Sumit’s expenditure = Rs. 18000 Sumit’s saving = 24000 – 18000 = Rs. 6000 Amit’s saving = 6000 + (50/100) × 6000 = 6000 + 3000 = Rs. 9000 Amit’s expenditure = 20000 – 9000 = Rs.11,000
