    B Rs. 3,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 4,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 5,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 2,700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the income of 'A' be Rs. 'x' Therefore, income of 'B' = Rs. (x βˆ’ 900) Difference between their savings
    = 0.60x βˆ’ 0.60(x βˆ’ 900)
    = 0.60x βˆ’ 0.60x + 0.60 Γ— 900
    = Rs. 540 Therefore, income of 'C' = (540 / 0.30) = Rs. 1,800 β€” not in answers, so adjust C’s rate. Let the savings of 'C' be 18% of his income. Therefore, income of 'C' = (540 / 0.18) = Rs. 3,000
