    Solution

    ATQ,

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

    Income of 'X' = 1.25 × 100n = Rs. '125n'

    Expenditure of 'X' = 0.7 × 125n = Rs. '87.5n'

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

    So, 87.5n - 85n = 660

    Or, 2.5n = 660

    Or, 'n' = 264

    Savings of 'X' = 125n - 87.5n = 37.5n = 37.5 × 264 = Rs. 9,900
