      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the income of 'N' be Rs. '100n'

      Income of 'M' = 1.8 × 100n = Rs. '180n'

      Expenditure of 'M' = 0.75 × 180n = Rs. '135n'

      Expenditure of 'N' = 0.85 × 100n = Rs. '85n'

      So, 135n – 85n = 1170

      Or, 50n = 1170

      Or, n = 23.4

      Savings of 'M' = 180n – 135n = 45n = 45 × 23.4 = Rs. 1,053
