    Solution

    Let the expenditure of Bhavya be Rs. ‘3x’
    So, income of Aakash = 3x × (5/3) = Rs. ‘5x’

    Let the expenditure of Aakash be Rs. ‘4y’
    So, income of Bhavya = 4y × (5/4) = Rs. ‘5y’

    So, savings of Aakash = 4y × (1/6) = Rs. (2y/3)

    ATQ;

    5x – 4y = (2y/3)
    Or, 5x = (14y/3)
    Or, x = (14y/15)

    Since, savings of Bhavya is Rs. 4,600 more than that of Aakash.

    5y – 3x = (2y/3) + 4600
    On putting x = (14y/15):

    5y – 42y/15 = 2y/3 + 4600
    Or, 11y/5 = 2y/3 + 4600
    Or, (33y – 10y)/15 = 4600 ⇒ 23y/15 = 4600
    So, y = 3000

    So, income of Bhavya = 5 × 3000 = Rs. 15,000
