      B Rs. 26,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 37,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 44,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 48,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

       Let the savings of I and J be Rs. v each.  Therefore, expenditure of J = Rs. 2v.  Or, 2v + v = 54,000.  Or, v = Rs. 18,000.  Therefore, expenditure of I = 2v – 10,000 = Rs. 26,000.  Income of I = 26,000 + 18,000 = Rs. 44,000.
