    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'.
    A Rs. 7,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 6,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 5,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 4,800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 8,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    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
