    Question

    'S' earns 50% more than 'T'. 'S' and 'T' save 45% and

    25% of their incomes. If the gap between their expenses is Rs. 1,200, how much does 'S' save?
    A Rs.7,525 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.5,572 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.10,800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the income of 'T' be Rs. '100n'

    Income of 'S' = 1.5 Ă— 100n = Rs. '150n'

    Expenditure of 'S' = 0.55 Ă— 150n = Rs. '82.5n'

    Expenditure of 'T' = 0.75 Ă— 100n = Rs. '75n'

    So, 82.5n - 75n = 1200

    Or, 7.5n = 1200

    Or, 'n' = 160

    Savings of 'S' = 150n - 82.5n = 67.5n = 67.5 Ă— 160 = Rs. 10,800
