    B Rs. 20000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 26500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 26600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 36000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let monthly income of A and B be 10x and 11x, respectively. Then, 10x + 11x = 84000 21x = 84000, x = 4000 A’s monthly income = 10x = Rs. 40000 B’s monthly income = 11x = Rs. 44000 Given, expenditure of B = Rs. 31000 So, B’s saving = 44000 – 31000 = Rs. 13000 Then, A’s saving = 13000 + (1/13) × 13000 = 13000 + 1000 = Rs. 14000 A’s expenditure = 40000 – 14000 = Rs. 26000
