    Solution

    Let the expenditure of Tanu be Rs. тАШ2xтАЩ
    So, income of Samar = 2x ├Ч (3/2) = Rs. тАШ3xтАЩ

    Let the expenditure of Samar be Rs. тАШ5yтАЩ
    So, income of Tanu = 5y ├Ч (6/5) = Rs. тАШ6yтАЩ

    So, savings of Samar = 5y ├Ч (2/5) = Rs. 2y

    ATQ;

    3x тАУ 5y = 2y
    Or, 3x = 7y
    Or, x = (7y/3)

    Since, savings of Tanu is Rs. 1,600 less than that of Samar.

    6y тАУ 2x = 2y тАУ 1600
    On putting x = (7y/3):

    6y тАУ 14y/3 = 2y тАУ 1600
    Or, 4y/3 = 2y тАУ 1600
    Or, 2y/3 = 1600 тЗТ y = 2400

    So, income of Tanu = 6 ├Ч 2400 = Rs. 14,400
