The savings of C and D are the same. The difference
between the expenditure of D and the savings of both C and D together is 0. The income of D is Rs. 30,000, and the expenditure of C is Rs. 6,000 less than that of D. Find the income of C.Solution
Let the savings of C and D be Rs. y each.  Therefore, expenditure of D = Rs. 2y.  Or, 2y + y = 30,000.  Or, y = Rs. 10000. Therefore, expenditure of C = 2y – 6,000 = Rs. 14000  Income of C = 14000 + 10000 = Rs. 24,000.
