Question
Arun and Baldev have monthly savings in the ratio of
8:5, respectively. Baldev's monthly expenditure exceeds Arun's monthly savings by ₹20,200. Additionally, Arun's monthly expenditure is ₹2,200 more than Baldev's. Given that Arun and Baldev's monthly salaries are in the ratio of 8:7, determine Arun's monthly savings.Solution
Let the monthly savings of Arun and Baldev be Rs. ‘8x’ and Rs. ‘5x’ respectively. Monthly expenditure of Baldev = Rs. (8x + 20,200) Monthly expenditure of Arun = 8x + 20200 + 2200= Rs.(8x + 22,400) According to question, (8x + 8x + 22400)/(5x + 8x + 20200) = 8/7 (16x + 22400)/(13x + 20200) = 8/7 112x + 156800 = 104x + 161600 8x = 4800 So, monthly savings of Arun = Rs. 4800
