Question
Income of 'A' is Rs. 1,800 more than that of 'B'. Both
spend 25% of their respective incomes. If the savings of 'C' is 18.75% of his income and is equal to the difference between the savings of 'A' and 'B', then find the income of 'C'.Solution
Let the income of 'A' be Rs. 'x' Therefore, income of 'B' = Rs. (x − 1800) Difference between their savings
= 0.75x − 0.75(x − 1800)
= 0.75x − 0.75x + 0.75 × 1800
= Rs. 1350 Therefore, income of 'C' = (1350/0.1875) = Rs. 7,200
