    Solution

    ATQ,

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

    Income of 'M' = 1.3 × 100n = Rs. '130n'

    Expenditure of 'M' = 0.5 × 130n = Rs. '65n'

    Expenditure of 'N' = 0.6 × 100n = Rs. '60n'

    So, 65n - 60n = 600

    Or, 5n = 600

    Or, 'n' = 120

    Savings of 'M' = 130n - 65n = 65n = 65 × 120 = Rs. 7,800
