      A Rs.1,525 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.1,572 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.2,028 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.3,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

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

      Income of 'P' = 1.6 Ɨ 100n = Rs. '160n'

      Expenditure of 'P' = 0.65 Ɨ 160n = Rs. '104n'

      Expenditure of 'Q' = 0.75 Ɨ 100n = Rs. '75n'

      So, 104n - 75n = 1050

      Or, 29n = 1050

      Or, 'n' = 36.21

      Savings of 'P' = 160n - 104n = 56n = 56 Ɨ 36.21 = Rs. 2,028
