    Solution

    ATQ, Let Aman, Bittu and Charu can be defined as A, B and C respectively.

    Let the initial incomes of 'A' and 'B' be Rs. '8x' and Rs. '15x', respectively. So, new income of 'A' = 8x X 1.5 = Rs. '12x' And new income of 'B' = Rs. '15x - 3000' And income of 'C' = (15x - 3000) X (5/4) ATQ; (15x - 3000) X (5/4) = 7000 + 8x Or, 75x - 15000 = 28000 + 32x Or, 43000 = 43x So, x = 1000 So, new income of 'A' = 12 X 1000 = Rs.12,000
